The limitations of the thermoluminescent method of dating tektites and meteorites are discussed after a brief description of the method itself. The main factors affecting the accuracy of age determination are the thermal release of trapped carriers together with the possible diffusion of trapping centres, saturation effects at large doses of radiation and instrumental errors, particularly the instability of the black-body radiation curve. In the authors' opinion the dating of meteorites by thermoluminescence is possible if more reliable data can be obtained on the radiation dose rates in space, but the method has serious shortcomings when applied to tektites.
