Abstract: The development,the recent situation and the principles of ESR dating are introduced in this paper. The total doses of the natural radiation (i.e.the Archaeological Dose-AD) in the samples, such as the spring travertine from an active fault zone at the Xianchui River, the stalagmite from the fouth place cave of Choukoutien, the Lamprotula fossils from Nihewan, were determined by ESR method. The ESR age of the stalagmite is 6×104 years.Finally, ESR dating with relation to the other factors is also discussed.

Key words: Carbonate, ESR Spectra, Total dose, ESR Dating
