我们报告的第一个主要研究隐火山灰（不可见的火山灰层）在旧石器时代晚期的考古遗址在北方欧洲。对最后一次终结以来的34个地点进行的检查显示，有7个地点具有可识别的隐晶层。在成矿和有机沉积物中观察到保存，尽管火山灰在有机沉积物中更常见。Cryptotephra层通常出现在考古层的上方或下方。附近的非现场古气候档案（泥炭沼泽和湖泊<0.3公里远）是更好的位置检测火山灰。然而，在大多数情况下，考古学只能间接地与这种隐岩有关。影响隐火山岩存在/不存在的模式包括网站相对于发射火山中心的地理位置;过去的大气对隐火山岩运输的数量，方向和模式的影响;当地网站沉积的性质和时间;采样考虑和随后的埋藏过程。总的来说，虽然火山灰地层学有可能显着改善这些网站的年表，许多限制因素目前影响的成功应用。
We report the first major study of cryptotephra (non-visible volcanic ash layers) on Late Palaeolithic archaeological sites in northern Europe. Examination of 34 sites dating from the Last Termination reveals seven with identifiable cryptotephra layers. Preservation is observed in minerogenic and organic deposits, although tephra is more common in organic sediments. Cryptotephra layers normally occur stratigraphically above or below the archaeology. Nearby off-site palaeoclimate archives (peat bogs and lakes <0.3 km distant) were better locations for detecting tephra. However in most cases the archaeology can only be correlated indirectly with such cryptotephras. Patterns affecting the presence/absence of cryptotephra include geographic position of sites relative to the emitting volcanic centre; the influence of past atmospherics on the quantity, direction and patterns of cryptotephra transport; the nature and timing of local site sedimentation; sampling considerations and subsequent taphonomic processes. Overall, while tephrostratigraphy has the potential to improve significantly the chronology of such sites many limiting factors currently impacts the successful application.
