What is it about?
The article deals with the luminescence dating of the Stalac loess-paleosol profiles. While the quartz fraction could not be dated, final ages were assessed using polymineral fine grains. A part of the article tries to explore why quartz dating was so problematic.

Why is it important?
On the one hand it is important for the dating community and might help other researchers that encounter problematic behaviour in quartz OSL dating. On the other hand dating the last two glacial cylces of a loess paleosol sequence south of the typical loess distribution is of importance for studies of the paleoclimate.
