  abstract = {{C}osmic ray exposure ({CRE}) datingwas performed on the caldera cliffs of {S}antorini with the aim of detecting cliff segments predating the {M}inoan eruption (17th century {BCE}). {T}he methodology involved the determination of in situ-produced cosmogenic {C}l-36 concentration in basaltic-torhyodacitic whole rocks cropping out in the cliffs. {A}fter the samples were processed following the chemical protocol of {C}l-36 preparation for silicate rocks, {C}l-36 concentrations were measured by accelerator mass spectrometry ({AMS}). {I}mportant challenges during the implementation procedure were related to large amounts of radiogenic {C}l-36, complex modeling of inherited {C}l-36, and dominance of the thermal and epithermal (low-energy) neutron capture production pathway. {N}evertheless, quantitative assessments on the basis of the contribution of the lowenergy neutron capture pathway percent to the total production rate validated the calculated {CRE} dates. {C}urrent {CRE} ages demonstrate that an ancient caldera existed on pre-{M}inoan {S}antorini, occupying at least the northern half of the modern-day caldera.},
