Sumario:This technical report presents the results of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating carried out on sedimentary infills associated with pastoral dry-stone structures at Casariños (Serra do Suído, Pontevedra, NW Spain). Four samples were analysed to establish the chronology of construction and occupation phases. Equivalent dose (De) values were determined using single-aliquot regenerative (SAR) protocols, and statistical age models (CAM and MAM) were applied. In cases of partial bleaching, single-grain OSL analysis was performed to obtain reliable age estimates. Environmental dose rates (Dr) were calculated from radionuclide concentrations and cosmic dose contributions. The resulting chronological data provide a temporal framework for the studied structures and contribute to the understanding of the historical development of upland pastoral landscapes in north-western Iberia.
