Sobre el significado y el uso de los términos 'erosión' y 'exhumación'
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Es importante que los términos técnicos con significados acordados se utilicen correctamente. Esto se aplica particularmente a las palabras que reflejan su etimología. El descuido de este principio distorsiona la información y compromete el debate, la comprensión y el valor de los documentos e informes que de otro modo serían útiles. En el debate y en las publicaciones, algunos autores han utilizado el término 'exhumado' como sinónimo de 'erosión', mientras que en disciplinas como la geología estratigráfica y la geomorfología se percibe que ambas tienen significados e implicaciones bastante diferentes para las reconstrucciones cronológicas. Además, algunos aspectos de la naturaleza de la erosión no parecen ser apreciados.
