Törmeléke

Törmeléke is a term used in geology and archaeology to describe fragmented material, often associated with rockfall or debris. In a geological context, it refers to loose fragments of rock that have broken off from a larger mass due to weathering, erosion, or seismic activity. These fragments can range in size from small pebbles to large boulders. Törmeléke can accumulate at the base of cliffs, in scree slopes, or within geological formations.

In archaeology, the term törmeléke might be used to describe discarded materials or remnants of past human activity. This could include shattered pottery, broken tools, or fragments of building materials. The presence and composition of törmeléke can provide valuable clues about the age, function, and cultural practices of ancient sites. Analyzing these fragments can help archaeologists reconstruct past environments and understand how societies interacted with their surroundings. The distinction between geological and archaeological törmeléke often depends on the context of the find.
