The aim of this publication is to present the non-invasive research on the Neolithic hill at the Mezőkeresztes, Lapos-halom site.
The site is a late ALP period settlement hill with unknown stratigraphic relations. Based on geophysical surveys, it was a densely built-in area with an artificial boundary. In terms of typology, the assemblages of the northern Szakálhát and formerly known as Szilmeg groups are the most similar to the finds excavated at this site, which also show
a few late Neolithic characteristics. Data suggesting the artificial land use of surrounding area around the site proves the conscious land usage of the area’s former inhabitants.

In 2018, between August 28 and September 19, during the construction work of the M30 motorway connecting Miskolc (Hungary) with Košice/Kassa (Slovakia), a Neolithic settlement was partially excavated by the Archaeological Heritage Protection Directorate of the Hungarian National Museum at the site Novajidrány–Szőlő-alja II. Based on preliminary results, the excavated 84 archaeological features and the 2 burials can be dated to the emerging phase of the Alföld Linear Pottery Culture (ALPC).

With the publication of Hungarian Conquest period burial no. 216, the documentation of the small cemetery located at the site Subasa-hegy near Szeged-Kiskundorozsma, which consisted of eight burials total, is complete. The burial contained the remains of a horse archer buried along with his horse, his weapons and a vessel. Burials of a small community came to light at the Subasa cemetery, which were spaced far away from each other, with burial no. 216 being located 104 metres away from the nearest burial. Based on the above, the status of the so-called solitary burials previously located at other sites potentially might have to be reconsidered.

In April 2019, the Archaeological Heritage Protection Directorate of the Hungarian National Museum excavated a section of a Late Iron Age cemetery near Novajidrány (Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county). The following study presents the conservation of the ceramics and metal finds collected ‘in situ’ from one of the burials. The aim of this study is to thoroughly present each step of the restoration process and highlight the fundamental challenges presented by each stage of the procedure. The results aid in the archaeological interpretation of the finds, specifically of the deposition and burial customs of the Late Iron Age in this case.

The establishment of the Hungarian National Museum Community Archaeology Program provided a wide range of opportunities to investigate previously unknown archaeological sites. A series of finds from different periods were recovered in the vicinity of Páty, Nagy-Kopasz (Pest County, unregistered site). This study presents three Late Roman brooches (copper-alloy hinged-pin ’T’-brooch, cast copper-alloy crossbow brooches) and a well-preserved Late Medieval / Early Modern Age iron knife (Steyr type).
