TL;DR: In this article, geochronological, geochemical, and Sr-isotope data on volcanics erupted before the Campanian Ignimbrite (CI, 37 ka) and the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (NYT, 12 ka) caldera-forming eruptions at Campi Flegrei (CF) have allowed us to investigate the behavior and temporal evolution of the Phlegraean magmatic system.

TL;DR: The Agnano-Monte Spina tephra (AMST) is the product of the highest-magnitude eruption in the Campi Flegrei caldera (CFc) during its last epoch of activity (4800-3800 years BP) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The results confirm that the combined effects of a major volcanic eruption and severe climatic cooling failed to have lasting impacts on Neanderthal or early modern humans in Europe and infer that modern humans proved a greater competitive threat to indigenous populations than natural disasters.

TL;DR: In the past 12 ka, three isotopically and geochemically distinct magmatic components were erupted at the resurgent Campi Flegrei caldera (CFc) as either homogeneous or mixed magma batches.

TL;DR: A continuous-coring borehole recently drilled at Camaldoli dellaTorre on the southern slopes of Somma^Vesuvius provides constraints on the volcanic and magmatic history of the Vesuvian volcanic area since c. 126 ka BP.
