Název v původním jazyce

The impact of volcanic eruptions on the civilizations of the Mediterranean during the Bronze Age

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

So called Avellino eruption of Mt Vesuvius (VEI&gt;5) was a catastrophe nearly as disastrous as the infamous eruption in 79 AD. According to a recent study, it took place in the mid-20th century by the end of the Palma-Campania culture. This event is a graphic example of the local impact of a volcanic eruption. The local impact was caused mainly by the pyroclastic flows, that demonstrated their great destructive power on the landscape within the radius of 10-15 kilometers. These consequences are still visible on the Bronze Age settlements of Nola and Afragola. These locations provide us with the remains of human settlements and even the footprints, that were all conserved thanks to the eruption. It were these footprints that prove a mass exodus of the population during the eruption itself. The explosive eruption on the island of Thera (VEI&gt;7) took place around 1600 BC. This eruption is considered to be one of the most disastrous volcanic eruptions in the Mediterranean ever.
