Abstract
THE thermoluminescence (TL) of marbles and limestones1–3 from various quarries in Greece4 has been described. It had been hoped that features characteristic of each quarry would be found. The glow curves of samples as taken from the quarry are called natural thermoluminescence curves (NTL). These curves did not allow any determination of origin, because in nearly every case only a single peak was obtained.
