Application of OSL dating to middle to late Holocene arroyo sediments in Kanab Creek, southern Utah, USA

► Arroyo deposits were dated with OSL and radiocarbon dating. ► De distributions indicate partial bleaching due to high sediment supply and rapid aggradation. ► Minimum age model and/or single-grain dating tools were necessary for age estimation. ► Distal sediments and thin plane-bedded and rippled sands showed fewer signs of partial bleaching.
