Comparison of the IRSL ages on sand-sized, potassium-rich feldspars, with radiocarbon dates on A-horizon organic matter from buried palaeosols within the colluvial succession shows good agreement between the dating techniques. When compared with palaeo environmental records, the data suggest that the colluvium accumulated during arid stages of the Late Quaternary, whilst pedogenesis repeatedly occurred at intervals of hillslope stability which may reflect periods of greater humidity. Temperature does not seem to have been a forcing factor in the landscape development. Extensive colluviation took place during the arid Last Glacial Maximum, but the occurrence of several palaeosols indicates that it was a time of fluctuating climatic conditions.951928 bytesapplication/pdfenCopyright: 2003 Elsevier B.V.ColluviumHillslope evolutionRadiocarbon datingLuminescence datingGeosciencesPaleontologyArticleClarke, M., Vogel, J., Botha, G., & Wintle, A.
