Mount Tambora blowing it's top in the Dutch West Indies in 1815 , perhaps combined with the 1814 eruption of Mayon in the Philippines in 1814 created a volcanic winter...
The year without a summer in many places.
There were other volcano's possibly related ,but the result was a diminished solar effect.
Previous IF similar events farther back in time should show as ash layers somewhere ,and perhaps dust layers in glacial core samples.
Determining the difference between a dust cloud from a large meteor strike vs a volcano seems doable. In theory anyways.
