摘要: Over the past few years rock varnish literature has proliferated. More than a dozen research groups in at least six countries are now investigating potential of as Quaternary dating technique for geomorphical and archaeological studies. New backscattered electron microscopy imagery varnishes from southwestern North America illustrates need great caution selection samples all methods. Nine general factors that may interfere with presented. For to be successful, these must evaluated by careful examination field analyses many cross-sections laboratory.
