| Title | Enhancing Tephrochronology and its Application in Archaeology and Palaeoenvironmental-change Studies |
| Commission | SACCOM HaB |
| Description | Tephrochronology has experienced something of a step-change in recent years and is considered one of the few techniques that has the promise for addressing chronological uncertainties in archaeological and environmental research. Tephra layers and the eruptions they are linked to can also act as drivers of cultural and environmental change. The session will focus on novel applications of tephra studies in both archaeology and palaeoenvironmental studies including developments in cryptotephra investigations, new geochemical techniques, methods of quantifying uncertainties and deriving age estimates for tephra deposits. We focus particularly on papers that use single or multiple tephra layers to constrain the temporal precision of environmental change models and papers that discuss archaeologically observable changes in relation to volcanic eruptions and/or tephra deposition. In addition, this session hopes to attract contributions on the significance of the 2010 Eyjafjöll eruption in Iceland and how this informs our understanding of tephra dispersal processes. Papers dealing with Quaternary palaeoenvironmental reconstructions that are centred on a tephrochronological approach are also welcome. |
