Abstract
The article presents information related to a pilot project aimed at obtaining optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dates from a group of ancient irrigation dams in central India. The dams are all situated around the wellknown Buddhist site of Sanchi. The project focused on two dam sites and involved scraping back dam sections created by modern road cuttings. The project allowed for the collection of sediments and ceramics for OSL dating.
