    A 23m thick succession of Quaternary deposits was investigated at Zarengrad, Eastern Croatia. A geo- chronological study was performed on loess samples using luminescence dating. An elevated temper- ature post-IR infrared stimulated luminescence (post-IR IRSL) dating protocol was applied. Perform- ance tests showed that the protocol is suitable for the samples under study. The post-IR IRSL based chronology implies that, contradictory to previous correlations, a Middle Pleistocene loess-palaeosol sequence is exposed at Zarengrad II and not the Last Glacial - Interglacial cycle. Based on ages, the lowermost loess is correlated to oxygen isotope stage (OIS) 9-10 and the double palaeosol at the top of the section most likely correlates with OIS7. The Last Glacial record is exposed at the nearby Za- rengrad I section. Furthermore, a heavy and light mineral analysis was performed on the investigated section as well as on the previously investigated Zarengrad I section, showing that the mineral associa- tion is typical for Quaternary deposits of the Pannonian basin.
