I watched a documentary on this subject some time ago, and soil samples dating from that era collected from various places didn't show the deposition of any extra terrestrial material. The scientists involved in that study (I think it was on the "Discovery" channel) found evidence of a massive volcanic eruption, which they blamed on Krakatoa. The article you're citing is a summary.
