Stratigraphic and facies analysis, conducted in the 90’s, on the pyroclastic successions blanking the Etna volcano flanks permitted the reconstruction of the last 100 ka tephrostratigraphic record of the volcano explosive activity. During the Holocene, several strong explosive events occurred, including a basaltic plinian eruption in 122 BC. However, the historical period lacks of detailed investigation on the Etna pyroclastic succession, therefore, we focused our research on this period. We started with an accurate field work aimed to the description of the pyroclastic deposits cropping out prevalently on the NE flank of the volcano. This tephra succession is characterized by alternations of ash layers, scoriaceous lapilli rich horizons an...
