There is data available for 0 confirmed Holocene eruptive periods.

[ 0350 BCE ± 100 years ] Uncertain Eruption

Episode 1 | Uncertain East side of caldera
0350 BCE ± 100 years - Unknown Evidence from Isotopic: 14C (uncalibrated)
 Licence at al. (1987) reported that "On the eastern side of the domes there is a very recent crater, interpreted as a maar approximately 800 m wide. This crater resulted from a phreato magmatic eruptive event which blanketed much of the central caldera, an area of approximately 9 km2, with a 5-30 m thick trachyte tuff-breccia deposit (three 14C dates age the deposit at 2,300 ± 100 years." The mapped crater is not evident among the highly irregular eroded surface visible in satellite images (as of 2025), and no other details about the samples used to date the deposit were noted. Both the age and determination of magmatic involvement are uncertain, along with a source for the deposit.
