When experts study volcanic eruptions that happened thousands of years ago, how do they know how tall was the eruption column?

I was watching a documentary about Phlegraean Fields in Italy and they said that when it erupted 39 thousands years ago, the eruption column reached about 30km high (18 miles).
So I was wondering, how do they know how tall it was? What do they do to determine its height?
