We reveal the eruptive history of the Higashi Izu monogenetic volcano field by tephrochronology and loess-chronometry and describe mainly volcanoes older than 32,000 years ago. The eruption of the volcano field started at about 150,000 years ago. Twelve tephra from volcanoes outside the Izu Peninsula were used as key beds. We found four eruptive fissures ; Takatsukayama-Sukumoyama, Kadono-Umenokidaira, Koike-Oike, and Numanokawa fissures, along each of which two to five monogenetic volcanoes erupted simultaneously. Interbedding of a distal wide spread tephra between eruptive deposits proper to the volcano field (the KIP-4 pumice between the Takatsukayama-Sukumoyama tephra, and the Hakone Da-4 pumice between the Kadono-Umenokidaira tephra) means that an eruption of a volcano outside the Izu Peninsula occurred simultaneously with the eruption of the volcano field. Vent locations of the volcano field were limited to the northern half of the present distribution during 80,000-150,000 years ago and were expanded in the later stage. Average frequency of eruption in the volcano field is calculated to be one/7,900 years for the period of 40,000-150,000 years ago, and one/2,500 years for the past 40,000 years. Average discharge rate of magma is calculated to be 0.64 kg/s before 40,000 years ago, and 2.5 kg/s for the past 40,000 years. Thus, both the average frequency of eruption and the magma discharge rate are higher for the past 40,000 years than those in the earlier stage. Many of the eruptions of andesite magma occurred later than 14,500 years ago, and the ones of dacite-rhyolite magma occurred only for the past 3,200 years. The cumulative pattern of the discharge mass of magma from the whole volcano field against time shows no clear predictability.

A small-scale explosive eruption of Asama volcano lasted from 02 h 25 m to ca. 06 h, April 26, 1982. It produced a thin but far-reaching ash fall bed and very minor pyroclastic flows on the upper slopes. The main axis of ash-fall deposit extended ESE passing Tokyo to reach the Boso Peninsula. Subordinate axis extended toward the southwest to reach Lake Suwa. The wind above 5, 000 m was mainly responsible for the main axis while the low altitude winds produced the subordinate axis as it blew south to southwestwards. The amount of ash fall ranged from more than 300 g/m^2 to 100 g/m^2 at the distance of ca. 10 km from the vent and the total mass erupted was estimated to be about 8 million tons. The ash traveled at an average speed of 12 m/s as far as 200 km from the vent along the main axis. Grain size of the ash regularly decreases clockwise at the distance of about 10 km from the crater reflecting the changing wind direction with altitude. No appreciable change in the medium diameter was found for samples taken in Tokyo (130 km away, Md_φ=3.32) and the one 10 km away (Md_φ=3.26). All samples show marked skewness toward fractions finer than 63 μm suggesting that such fine particles descended in aggregates. Field evidence that in some places ash was incorporated in mud droplets strongly supports this mechanism although it was reported that ash fell apparently in a "dry" state. Ash contained several percent of hydrothermally altered older volcanic materials as well as much water-soluble substances, gypsum, alunite, etc. No clay minerals were found by x-ray diffraction, a fact in strong contrast with the ejecta of 1977-1978 eruption of Usu and 1979 eruption of Ontake volcanoes although both materials had a very similar appearance and clayey physical properties as the present ash. No vesicular, juvenile matelials were identified and the bulk consisted of polyhedral grains of hyalopilitic pyroxene andesite very much similar to recent lavas of Maekawa-yama. No liquid magma but a high-temperature steam jet deep out of the vent may have been responsible for this explosive eruption. High temperature of the erupted material was clearly demonstrated by the glowing deposits observed on the upper slopes immediately after the first phase of eruption. These were mainly laid down by the very small scale pyroclastic flows which overflowed the crater rim and descended for a short distance over the northern and southern slopes.

Age of a tephra can be determined by simple stratigraphy, if adequate number of time-markers are provided. Eleven master tephras are chosen as the time-markers for the last one million years. They are Kikai-Akahoya (7.330 ka), Aira-Tanzawa (26.00 ka), Daisen-Kurayoshi (50.00 ka), Aso-4 (87.00 ka), Ata-Torihama (250.0 ka), Kakuto (340.0 ka), Suiendani-TE5 (420.0 ka), Kobayashi-Sakura (540.0 ka), Kaisyo-Toriitoge (650.0 ka), Shishimuta-Azuki (870.0 ka), and Shishimuta-Pink (1000 ka). The present earth surface and Bruhnes/Matuyama boundary (780.0 ka) play a same role as master tephras. Ages of some master tephras are assigned rather arbitrarily, however, it is productive to affix them once to a specific value. A tephra sandwiched between two master tephras is afforded its age by interpolating the thicknesses of loess between them. This technique, loess-chronometry, has the advantage of ability to measure an interval of tens to thousands years in the geologic past, over radiometric dating. More than 900 tephras are presently recorded and linked each other in a computer database including name, source volcano, age, magnitude, stratigraphy, and remarks.
