a The water content of 20 ± 5% was estimated based on field values shown in the brackets.

b Mineralogy analysis of the sediments from Leang Burung 2 suggests that a high percentage of sanidine feldspars in the mineral composition of the sediments from this site. Thus, for the internal dose rate calculation, a K concentration of 10 ± 2% was assumed based on the theoretical K concentration of 10.69% for sanidine [52, 53], while a Rb concentration of 400 ± 100 ppm was assumed [54].

c The equivalent doses were estimated using the sensitivity-corrected pIRIR 290°C signal. All the equivalent doses were corrected for residual doses obtained from bleached aliquots (see text). A fading test was not conducted on LB2-OSL4, and hence the fading-corrected De values are not available for this sample.
