The Thellier method has been used to determine the total intensity of the geomagnetic field between 500 to 300 B. C. (Spring-Autumn dynasty) and 1763 to 1800 A. D. (Qing dynasty). The intensity of the field increased from -55μT to -82μT during the last 500 years B. C. followed by a decrease to 63μT sometime between 960 and 1279 A. D. It subsequently peaked at -71μT between 1279 and 1368 A. D. and has since been decreasing.
