Pozzolana - Wikipedia
The designation pozzolana is derived from one of the primary deposits of volcanic ash used by the Romans in Italy, at Pozzuoli. The modern definition of pozzolana encompasses any volcanic material ( pumice or volcanic ash ), predominantly composed of fine volcanic glass, that is used as a pozzolan.
The whole PNW is smothered in volcanic ash.
