Significant studies of the dense-rock equivalent erupted volumes of the Bronze-Age Minoan eruption in Santorini have provided data to archeologists to better understand the effect of the eruption on development of several civilizations including Ancient Greek and Ancient Egyptian cultures . Through careful analysis of pumice and ash deposits ( including deep sea core samples ) , researchers have been able to make dense-rock equivalent volume estimates for each of the major eruptions of Thera
