During its long history, humanity left traces everywhere, therefore it is inevitable that finds, hoards or burials are going to be found accidentally besides professional excavations. That kind of a discovery occurred in Tiszakürt (Hungary), where a grave of the Mezőcsát group has been found.In this paper the three vessels – two urns and a beaker – of the grave will be presented. We do not have the skeleton, however, we do have an exquisite description of the grave. This description is important since it allows us to examine the burial practice as well.
As part of a new research project, the team of the Institute of Archaeological Sciences of the Eötvös Loránd University has been investigating the Early Iron Age hillfort at Dédestapolcsány-Verebce-bérc since 2020. Based on the results of previous fieldwalk sessions and metal detector surveys, we conducted excavations in 2022 to investigate the effects of the Iron Age siege on the settlement. We unearthed the remains of two buildings, one of which was apparently damaged by fire. A metal detector survey was also carried out simultaneously with the excavations, yielding a Late Bronze Age and several Middle Iron Age depots comprising bronze and iron artefacts.
E cikkben egy 2018 őszén, Mezőzombor-Békás-érről előkerült bronztárgyakból és borostyángyöngyökből álló együttes kerül bemutatásra. A lelettípusok tipokronológiai elemzése alapján, a Kr. e. 7. század 2. felére és a Kr. e. 6. század elejére keltezhetők. A különféle tárgyak analógiái arra utalnak, hogy ékszerekként, a ruházat dekorálására szolgáltak, az egyes leleteken látható viseleti nyomok alapján nem eltemetésre készítették az együttes elemeit. Eredeti kontextusuk bizonytalan, de valószínűsíthető, hogy egy temetkezés mellékleteiként kerültek a föld alá.
