The Gliwice Luminescence Laboratory (GLL) is a part of the Institute of Physics – Centre for Science and Education at the Silesian University of Technology, which has gradually evolved since the 1980s. To date, nearly 3500 samples have been dated using luminescence from materials such as ceramics, bricks, and sediments from archaeological and geological sites. Currently, the laboratory is equipped with four luminescence readers and three gamma spectrometers, allowing luminescence dating of approximately 300 samples annually for the needs of research projects. This article focuses on the laboratory procedures used in GLL to obtain luminescence ages. Recent improvements of the GLL's facilities and new equipment, as well as the performance spanning the Laboratory's 30 years of activity, are discussed in terms of obtained results and the involvement in national and international projects.
