The aim of this paper is to present in detail a method, adopted in our laboratory, for the determination of annual dose. In particular, an analysis is focused on the thermoluminescence dating of eolian sediments from Kępa Kujawska. The advantage of the presented method is that partial matrix doses for alfa, beta and gamma radiation are determined simultaneously from the high resolution gamma spectrometry measurements.
