Abstract:
Raw major element oxide data for volcanic events analysed from two proximal sites from Iceland across the period 750-940 CE. Tephra (ash) samples were taken from soil outcrops in Iceland [Atley, 63.67295°N/18.68231°W; Quarry Hafid, 64.054°N/19.786°W] for candidate events and this material was analysed using electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA) at the University of Bern, Switzerland. The location of the outcrop, sample depth, raw oxide values, and correlating horizon are provided.
