| thermoluminescence |
A trapped-charge, radiation-damage technique for dating archaeological objects. Energy produced by natural radiation in soil becomes stored in nearby objects. The amount of stored energy is a function of the background radiation level (which can be measured) and time. ...

1. Pertaining to temperature or heat. 2. A discrete buoyant element in which the buoyancy is confined to a limited volume of fluid. See plume. 3. A relatively small-scale, rising current of air produced when the atmosphere is heated enough locally by the earth's surface to produce absolute instability in its lowest layers. ...
