It was, in the sense that it includes the information that thermoluminescence dating was also used, though I didn't realize it was useful for bronze. From Wordnik.com. [Could the Lupa Capitolina be Medieval?] Reference
His misgivings could be laid to rest by a thermoluminescence test — a standard scientific dating test — but the authorities had refused, he said. From Wordnik.com. [Is the Phaistos Disk a Fake???] Reference
Small samples taken from inconspicuous parts of the object are heated to a sufficiently high temperature to produce a measurable blue light thermoluminescence. From Wordnik.com. [Forensic Science for Antiques] Reference
This article by Lombardi appears to lead to the conclusion that thermoluminescence data would be of no value in dating the piece, and that carbon dating would be problematic at best. From Wordnik.com. [Could the Lupa Capitolina be Medieval?] Reference
Since thermoluminescence (TL) tests -- a primary means of authentication -- had indicated the figure was between 570 and 1,000 years old, there was no suspicion about the piece's age. From Wordnik.com. [Faking African Art] Reference
Museum in Sydney and Lesley Head and David Price of the School of Geosciences at the University of Wollongong -- used thermoluminescence dating to determine the age of its lower levels. From Wordnik.com. [Ancient Seafarers] Reference
Because the Jinmium dates are from thermoluminescence rather than the more accurate single-grain optical luminescence, many archaeologists question this claim, and verification is essential. From Wordnik.com. [Ancient Seafarers] Reference
The actual replicated basic science systematic evidence from different, independent laboratories is that homeopathically prepared remedies beyond the Avogadro number differ from remedy-free solvent controls in their measurable properties, including calorimetry, thermoluminescence, and optical emission characteristics.

The head-spinning variety of responsibility is clearly conveyed in Submerged: at one point Lenihan muses on the archaeology of site inundation -- sediment integrity and chemistry, and the viability of thermoluminescence and fluorine analyses -- three paragraphs later, we find him strapped into a '72 Chevy, rolling into a lake in an experiment to determine what exactly happens when people sink in cars.
