The eruption of Thera was a major catastrophic eruption that is considered to be one of the most significant volcanic eruptions in history. During the beginning phases of the eruption, there was a substantial amount of hot pumice that fell from the eruption column which was roughly 40km in height5. The fall-out of hot pumice buried the entire island of Thera along with the islands to the east as well as the nearby sea6. The total volume of ejecta from the eruption was determined to be 60 km3(7). The total deposit of pumice and ash from the eruption was up to 50 meters thick5. The eruption took place in four phases. The first phase was the fall-out of pumice where approximately 90% of the deposits
