alluviation is not confined to the major valleys but also characterizes most of the tributary valleys in which lakes existed during either Illinoian or Wisconsin times. From LearnThat.org. [https://scholarworks.iu.edu/dspace/bitstream/2022/205/1/B04.pdf]

Presumably another cycle of alluviation will follow the current period of erosion. From Wordnik.com. [The Material Culture of Pueblo Bonito] Reference
Bryan (1941, p. 231) dates the period of refill and alluviation between 1250 and 1400. From Wordnik.com. [The Material Culture of Pueblo Bonito] Reference
He has participated in the Sagalassos Project since 1991 and focuses on the colluviation/alluviation history, the significance of catastrophic and abrupt climatic events, and the human impact for the last 7,000 years. From Wordnik.com. [Interactive Dig Sagalassos - Staff Profiles] Reference
Deforestation and intensive land use from the Hellenistic period onward seem to have initiated intense soil erosion on the hill slopes, resulting in major alluviation (up to 1.5 mm/year) so intense that the valley bottom got clogged with fine earth material creating the current landscape.

During the second week of the geomorphological survey, Etienne Paulissen and his collaborators Veronique De Laet, who grew muscles handling the Ramguts drill, and Koen Dossche, continued trying to solve the puzzle of the colluviation/alluviation history in the basin of the Aglasun Cay, to which Sagalassos belongs.

Now as the beds of chalk and of granulated limestone may have been formed by alluviation, on or beneath the shores of the sea, or in vallies of the land; it would seem, that some coal countries, which in the great commotions of the earth had been sunk beneath the water, were thus covered with alluvial limestone, as well as others with alluvial basaltes, or common gravel-beds.

Stratifications of coal, and clay, and sandstone, and iron-ores, not from currents of water, but from the production of morass-beds at different periods of time; morass-beds become ignited; their bitumen and sulphur is sublimed; the clay, lime, and iron remain; whence sand, marle, coal, white clay in valleys, and gravel-beds, and some ochres, and some calcareous depositions owing to alluviation; clay from decomposed granite; from the lava of Vesuvius; from vitreous lavas.
