Last year we published a paper entitled [Thermoluminescence and Glozel] by the authors of the present paper which declared that the Glozel material was not forged but belonged to the period 700 BC to 100 AD (XLVIII, 265–72). This starling conclusion has caused violent reaction among archeologists and, in our last issue, some interesting reactions from TL scientists (XLIX, 223–6) in a note entitled [Thermoluminescence and Glozel: a plea for caution] by Martin Aitken and Joan Huxtable. Here the authors of the original paper reply to the Aitken–Huxtable criticisms. For an Editorial comment see [Antiquity], 1976, 1.
