14C Chronology of Avellino Pumices Eruption and Timing of Human Reoccupation of the Devastated Region

The Avellino Pumices eruption was one of the most catastrophic volcanic events of Somma-Vesuvius, which hit prehistoric communities during the Early Bronze Age. In the last 30 yr, several authors reported assessments about its chronology, including radiocarbon datings, but with poor internal agreement and frequently with large experimental errors. A new and more accurate 14C dating of this eruption (1935-1880 BC, 1 sigma) was obtained at the CIRCE laboratory in Caserta (Italy) by 3 AMS measurements on a bone sample of a goat buried by the eruption, collected in an Early Bronze Age village at Croce del Papa (Nola, Naples). These results were verified by other measurements on several samples chronologically related to the eruption. Our data show that human resettlement after the eruption occurred rather quickly but lasted only for a short time in areas affected by the volcanic products, like Masseria Rossa and San Paolo Belsito (Nola, Naples), according to 14C dating of archaeological samples collected below and above the eruption deposits. The state-of-the-art chronology of this eruption, emerging from the results obtained in this work as well as from data in the literature, is discussed.The Radiocarbon archives are made available by Radiocarbon and the University of Arizona Libraries.

14 C Chronology of Avellino Pumices eruption and timing of human reoccupation of the devasted region

International audienceThe Avellino Pumices eruption was one of the most catastrophic volcanic events of Somma-Vesuvius, which hit prehistoric communities during the Early Bronze Age. In the last 30 yr, several authors reported assessments about its chronology, including radiocarbon datings, but with poor internal agreement and frequently with large experimental errors. A new and more accurate 14 C dating of this eruption (1935-1880 BC, 1 σ) was obtained at the CIRCE laboratory in Caserta (Italy) by 3 AMS measurements on a bone sample of a goat buried by the eruption, collected in an Early Bronze Age village at Croce del Papa (Nola, Naples).

The impact of the Pomici di Avellino Plinian eruption of Vesuvius on Early and Middle Bronze Age human settlement in Campania (Southern Italy)

A systematic revision and re-examination of the archaeological data available for the Early and Middle Bronze Age settlements of Campania allowed an estimation of the territorial impact of the Vesuvius 'Pomici di Avellino' eruption (20th-19th centuries BC). Before the eruption the region was very densely inhabited. The research demonstrated that after the eruption begun a protracted period of depopulation of the area affected by the by-products of the eruption. A complete reoccupation only occurred at the end of the Middle Bronze Age, about five centuries after the eruption
