Correlation of the Late Pleistocene loess–palaeosol stratigraphic units in Złota and Polanów Samborzecki. Comparison of new OSL dates with previous results. Obtained OSL results in some cases are quite different as compared with the OSL and TL dates obtained during last 10 years by other authors and presented in previous publications relating to this loess profile.
