Abstract
There has been limited information on the absolute ages of the various layers of the widespread loess deposits of northern China. The wind-carried deposits, exposed to sunlight and subsequently buried, should be amenable to dating by thermoluminescence. Use of the fine-grain technique has obtained ages from 18 000 to 84 000 yr for a sequence in the Malan loess exposed in the Zhaitang section near Beijing. The dates are consistent with the evidence from geology and magnetostratigraphy and provide a chronology for the Zhaitang section.
