Definition
Relating to or composed of colluvium; describing geological materials that have moved downslope primarily by gravity.
Etymology
Adjective form derived from 'colluvium' (geological material) using the '-al' suffix. The root 'col-' means together, and 'luv-' relates to washing, reflecting the geological origin of such deposits.
Kelly Says
When archaeologists excavate a site and find 'colluvial deposits,' it tells them the artifacts got buried by natural slope movement rather than being intentionally buried—completely different interpretations of the same artifact!
