Reuse of ESR-irradiated tooth enamel for amino acid geochronology: assessing the impact of gamma irradiation

Abstract Hominin and faunal fossil collections are valuable scientific resources for investigating past populations, making it critically important to preserve these rare materials and prioritise minimally destructive methods. Electron spin resonance (ESR) dating of tooth enamel...
