The effects of non-hydrostatic pressures on natural radiation-damage thennoluminescence have been studied and ratios between pressure-produced and natural radiation-damage thermoluminescence calculated. These data were obtained by detailed analyses of 650 glow curves obtained by subjecting nine different samples to increasing amounts of pressure for increasing intervals of time and measuring the thermoluminescence produced in each sample as a function of time and pressure. Experimental evidence indicates that effects of pressure are marginal and introduce no serious errors into geologic age determinations based on thermoluminescence. The amount of pressure-produced thermoluminescence obtained at different pressures when plotted against the time of pressure application showed a cyclic variation with increasing time. The cyclic character of the thermoluminescence area-time curves cannot be explained reasonably on basis of present data. Although the fundamental mechanisms at work may involve dislocations, it will be difficult to define these mechanisms more precisely.
