Feltáródás

Feltáródás is a Hungarian term describing the process of revealing, exposing, or disclosing something that has been hidden. The word stems from feltárni, meaning to reveal or uncover, with the suffix -ódás denoting a process. In general use, feltáródás refers to making information, structures, or phenomena accessible for study, analysis, or public knowledge.

In archaeology and museology, feltáródás denotes the systematic uncovering of sites or artifacts through excavation and related fieldwork. This involves careful documentation of the stratigraphic context, recording findings, and preserving material remains for interpretation and future research. The concept emphasizes both the physical act of uncovering and the subsequent analysis of discovered material.

In geology and mining, feltáródás refers to the exposure and examination of rock formations or ore bodies. It encompasses field surveys, mapping, sampling, and the interpretation of geological structures to assess resources, geohazards, or provenance. Ethical and environmental considerations, such as site preservation and responsible resource use, are often part of the process.

Beyond these fields, feltáródás can describe the disclosure of information in medical, social science, or data contexts, such as revealing findings from studies or uncovering data patterns. Across applications, the term implies a progression from concealment to visibility, with implications for analysis, interpretation, and access to knowledge.
