Characteristics of the burial environment related to quartz SAR-OSL dating at St. Vincent Island, NW Florida, USA

The geographically youngest ridges gave ages of 370±50-1900±300 years, yielding an inter-ridge accumulation time of ∼150 years assuming uniform sediment accumulation. The oldest ridge sets yielded ages of 2700±400-2800±300 years. Dating results are evaluated in terms of equivalent dose (DE) distributions and other characteristics in relation to aspects of the burial environment, including pedogenesis.
