We present the results of palaeomagnetic analysis on Late Bronge Age pottery from Santorinicarried out in order to estimate the thermal effect of the Minoan eruption on the pre-Minoanhabitation level. A total of 170 specimens from 108 ceramic fragments have been studied. Theceramics were collected from the surface of the pre-Minoan palaeosol at six different sites,including also samples from the Akrotiri archaeological site. The deposition temperatures ofthe first pyroclastic products have been estimated by the maximum overlap of the re-heatingtemperature intervals given by the individual fragments at site level. A new statistical elaborationof the temperature data has also been proposed, calculating at 95 per cent of probabilitythe re-heating temperatures at each site. The obtained results show that the precursor tephralayer and the first pumice fall of the eruption were hot enough to re-heat the underlying ceramicsat temperatures 160–230 ◦C in the non-inhabited sites while the temperatures recordedinside the Akrotiri village are slightly lower, varying from 130 to 200 ◦C. The decrease ofthe temperatures registered in the human settlements suggests that there was some interactionbetween the buildings and the pumice fallout deposits while probably the buildings debris layercaused by the preceding and syn-eruption earthquakes has also contributed to the decrease ofthe recorded re-heating temperatures
