About 10 years ago c14 tests were conducted on an olive branch which was found buried in volcanic ash at the archaeological site of Akrotiri on the island of Santorini.  The c14 dates were in the range of 1620 BC plus or minus 15 years.  When compared to dendrochronology and ice cores a date of 1628 BC for the Santorini eruption was determined.  Amusingly, because of the inherent plus/minus allowance, the C14 is the least precise of the three but close enough to suggest that Santorini blew it's top right around 1628 BC.
