“…7b). The latter ones, according to what were discussed in Marra et al (2014) about the Monti Sabatini products, display longer distance from the origin of the axis, which is consistent with the more differentiated character of their magma Smith et al, 2011). These include the products of Agnano, Astroni, Archiaverno, Pigna San Nicola, Capo Miseno, Baia and Fondi di Baia eruptive centers, which are all located near Pozzuoli (Fig.…”

“…6 we have plotted the Zr/TiO 2 vs Nb/TiO 2 compositions of the products whose pyroclastic-flow deposits are characterized by the presence of black vesicular scoriae within a loose ash matrix. These include the Sutri (Vico's Tufo Rosso a Scorie Nere), Ronciglione and Carbognano formations from Vico volcano (Perini et al, 2004), and the unlithified facies of the Tufo Roso a Scorie Nere from Monti Sabatini (Marra et al, 2014). Comparison of sample SU ANF composition with those of the different volcanic deposits suggests correlation with the Carbognano and Ronciglione Formations.…”

“…In contrast, all the III-IV century mortars are characterized by the presence of large (2-3 cm) black scoriae (Fig. 3b) that are very similar to those occurring in the local, incoherent facies of Tufo Rosso a Scorie Nere (Marra et al, , 2014. For the present study, we have manually separated and analyzed a fragment of one black scoria collected from a brick faced wall of a III-IV century CE structure of the Villa.…”

“…The LTGVT is a massive light grey to pale yellow ignimbrite with abundant white lapilli-sized pumice fragments and accretionary lapilli (Karner et al 2001;Masotta et al 2010). Recently Marra et al (2014) determined an age of 546±5 ka for the Tufo Giallo della Via Tiberina eruptive cycle. The cycle encompasses both UTGVT and LTGVT, for which these authors suggest a co-eruptive origin.…”

The “Tufo Giallo della Via Tiberina” (Sabatini Volcanic District, Central Italy): a complex system of lithification in a pyroclastic current deposit

et al. 2014

The Sabatini Volcanic District belongs to the Roman magmatic province of Central Italy, and the Tufo Giallo della Via Tiberina was one of the most voluminous pyroclastic flow-forming eruptions in this district. Post-depositional processes strongly affected this pyroclastic flow deposit leading to the crystallization of different authigenic phases (chabazite, phillipsite, feldspar). A field volcanological survey, along with a careful mineralogical characterization of a large amount of samples of the lithified facies, allowed us to reconstruct a type section primarily based on the amounts of the main authigenic phases. Chabazite always prevailed over phillipsite throughout the entire section, although in the innermost portions of the deposit, where temperatures remained high, chabazite mostly converted into a more stable phase such as an adularia-like phase. In addition to the zeolitization process, the fairly strong mechanical properties of this tuff can be also ascribed to the diffuse occurrence of microcrystalline calcite, which reprecipitated as a secondary phase after the dissolution of carbonaceous clasts.

The Early Middle Pleistocene site of Notarchirico (Basilicata, Italy) is a 7-m-thick fluvially emplaced sedimentary sequence rich in volcanic materials coming from the Monte Vulture stratovolcano. This site consists of 11 archaeological layers, some of which have yielded handaxes. One femur attributed to Homo heidelbergensis was also recovered from an upper level. We present in this study new 40 Ar/ 39 Ar and electron spin resonance ages that delimit the time of occupation of Notarchirico to between 670 AE 4 ka (14 ka) and 614 AE 4 ka (12 ka), therefore spanning mainly the glacial Marine Isotope Stage 16. Handaxes found in archaeosurface F are now securely dated to between 670 AE 4 ka (14 ka) and 661 AE 4 ka (14 ka) and prove that hominid populations living in southern Italy used Acheulian technology as early as the beginning of this stage. Futhermore, we placed the age of the human femur between 661 AE 4 ka (14 ka) and 614AE 4 ka (12 ka). This fossil is therefore the oldest Middle Pleistocene human fossil discovered in Italy so far. Thanks to this new chronological framework, Notarchirico is now a key site in our understanding of the Early Acheulian culture in Western Europe.
