We collected sediment, coral, and mollusk samples for the intercomparison of infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL), uranium-series (U-series), and amino acid racemization (AAR) geochronologic methods. This intercomparison is important for independently testing and validating these methods for dating middle and late Pleistocene sediments of the Atlantic Coastal Plain.Geology and geophysicsAge estimationDatingGeochronologyQuaternary periodGomez Pit, VirginiaTechnical Report
