> OSL measures when minerals such as quartz were last exposed to sunlight. Over time, these minerals build up a tiny store of energy while buried. When stimulated with light or heat in the laboratory, the minerals release this energy as a faint glow, which tells experts how long they have been underground.
While I get what you're going for, unfortunately, the pronunciation of Wear means it doesn't work. The correct pronunciation is more like Whee-ah (sounds a little bit like wheel) as opposed to sounding like "where" ;-)

Now that's just magic, plain and simple.
Being it's the Romans, and there are a lot of years of Romans, wouldn't one expect such a hub...
Every Wear?

For some reason I was expecting a large wheel hub.
