Prediktív régészeti modellezés eredményeinek fejlesztése - improving the quality of archaeological predictive models
Abstract:
This study examines how the results of predictive archaeological models can be improved with the integration of new or more accurate spatial datasets. Based on a study area near Polgár (NE Hungary) I have investigated the results of the application of data of the registered site database and of new field surveis, and the issue, how the „human factor” effected the model’s performance in case of the same modelling process and parameters.
Keywords: predictive modelling, GIS, least-cost path network

Halomsíros kocsimodell töredéke Mesterházáról (Nyugat-Magyarország, Vas megye) - Fragment of a tumulus culture wagon model from mesterháza (Western transdanubia, Vas county)
Abstract:
The study presents a wagon model fragment that is currently part of a private collection. The object was probably found on an unregistered settlement dated to the start of the Tumulus culture (Rei Br B1), showing a strong influence of the Veteřov ceramic tradition. The model, together with a bronze axe and a pin collected on the same spot, are stray finds. These objects underline the cultural variegation, involving Gáta-Wiselburg, Litzen, Věteřov and Tumulus cultural elements, that were revealed by the research during the past decades to characterize the territory of Western Transdanubia during this period.
Keywords: wagon, Bronze Age, Tumulus culture, Transdanubia

New late Bronze age helmet cheek guard and an “arm guard” from Transdanubia - Új késő bronzkori sisak arcvédő lemez és egy „alkarvédő” a Dunántúlról
Abstract:
The brief study introduces two new Late Bronze Age (Ha A1) bronze armour parts, a helmet cheek guard and an “armguard”. Both objects come from the collection of Dr. Zoltán Repkényi. The cheek guard was allegedly found at “Kapospula-Halastavak” decades ago as part of a larger Ha A1 hoard. According to the Collector, the “arm guard” or “armband” came to light together with a repoussé decorated knob. This “assemblage” originate from the “south Balaton region, north of Kaposvár”. These finds are most likely to be dated to the same period as the “Kapospula” assemblage or earlier (Rei. Br A2), based on a find from Unín.
Key words: Bronze Age, cheek guard, arm guard, Transdanubia, private collection

Az Enea Lanfranconi-hagyaték régészeti és numizmatikai vonatkozású anyaga a Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum gyűjteményeiben - The archaeological and numismatic material of the Enea Lanfranconi bequest in the collections of the Hungarian National Museum
Abstract:
This article focuses on the collection of Enea Lanfranconi (1850–1895) engineer and collector in Bratislava/Pozsony (SK) now partly kept in the Department of Archaeology and Coins Cabinet of the Hungarian National Museum. Originally, the famous and huge colletion of its age comprised rare (partly hungarica) books, paintings and engravings, but also a vast number of different antiquities. The purchased segment of the beqeust includes a material ranging from the Copper Age to the Late Migration Period, but mostly Roman small finds. Certain items had been moved to other public collections, among these two marble statues could be identified in the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest. Natural scientific analysis (handheld X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, hXRF) of metal objects was also accomplished in certain cases.
Key words:History of research, Copper Age, Late Bronze Age, use-wear analysis, Iron Age, Roman Age, Roman small finds, Late Migration Period, Early Modern Age numismatics, handheld X-ray fluorescence spectrometry

Free-born negotiatores in Scarbantia - Szabad születésű negotiatores Scarbantiában
Abstract:
The paper presents a survey of the backgrounds of two free-born negotiatores known from Scarbantia. This study is the first step of a comprehensive research on the negotiatores in the towns of Pannonia, examining their social status. Detailed definition of the concept of negotiator may give us a starting point for further research about the role of these people in the society.

“Armour fragment” from the Szentes-Lapistó early Avar period burial – Data for saddle types of the early Avar age Transtisza region - „Páncéltöredék” a szentes-lapistói kora avar kori temetkezésből – adatok a kora avar kori Tiszántúl nyeregtípusaihoz
Abstract:
In the 6th–7th century, elites of Eastern Europe and the Carpathian Basin used similar objects to represent their power – mainly the swords with P-shaped suspension loops and horse harnesses. Of the latter, this paper concerns saddles, to the pommel of which a rectangular piece of chainmail was installed, often further ornamented with bronze and silver fittings. The artefact from Szentes-Lapistó, originally described by Dezső Csallány as a “neck-covering net” can be identified as one of these ornaments.
Keywords: saddle, Eastern Europe, Transtisza region, 6th–7th century

Avar temető Tolna-Mözs határában - Awarisches Gräberfeld in der Gemarkung von Tolna-Mözs
Abstract:
The site of Tolna-Mözs, Községi Csádés földek (TO-02) was excavated during the construction of highway M6 in 2008–2009. The excavation has resulted in Copper Age, Bronze Age, Celtic, Avar and Árpádian-Age phenomena. This study presents the 23 graves dating to the Avar Age. The site is bounded by small streams from the northwest and from the southeast. The Avar graves arranged in scattered groups form a small burial place. The cemetery adds new information to our understanding of the “Middle Avar period” settlement of the eastern Transdanubia and Mezőföld.
Key words: 6th–7th century AD, Avar cemetery, small grave groups, obolus, quiver

Abstract:
Marosgombás (Gâmbaș) is the first excavated cemetery in Transylvania dated to the Hungarian conquest period. The study presents the analysis of the beads found in the cemetery, using the typological system created by Katalin Szilágyi, based on the aspects of chronology, typology and manufacturing techniques.

A gesztesi kisvár és leletanyaga - The "small castle" of Gesztes and its finds
Abstract:
Near the castle of Gesztes a smaller medieval building is located, which is called small castle. According to the presumptions, this could have been the castle of the Csák family built in the late 13th century as a predecessor of today’s Castle of Gesztes. The excavations led by István Feld in 2003, and 2005–2006 uncovered almost the whole site, produced different results from what was expected. A 15th-century building was unearthed, which had three rooms and had two stoves made of stove tiles. The present study aims to publish the find assemblage of the excavations.
Keywords: castle of Gesztes, stove, stove tile, pottery, 15th century

„Ókályhákbúl rakatván…” – fűtés Csábrág várában a 18. században - „Aus den Altkacheln gebaut…“ Zur Beheizung der Burg Čabraď im 18. Jahrhundert
Abstract:
The castle of Čabraď (Csábrág, SK) was used from the 13th century until 1812, and a significant part of the finds can be dated to the last period of its life. The stove tiles in this category belonged to simple stoves with no relief decoration at all, at which they mostly varied glazes or the placement of cornice and corner tiles, which imitate architectural elements. The research of these rather late stove tiles is quite neglected, although, we already have more written or pictorial sources that can provide us a clearer picture of the last furnaces of the castle.
Keywords: Castle Čabraď (Csábrág, SK), stove tile, foundation of stove, written sources, Koháry family, baroque
