Description :
New geochemical data on tephra samples from a layer present at several archeological sites in India support correlation of this layer to the Youungest Toba Tuff, erupted from northern Sumatra about 74,000 yr ago. The data show that the Indian tephra layer is not a correlative of older tephra erupted from Toba, as has been suggested on the basis of artifact assemblages.
