“…2). Similar changes were noted in the regional pollen, phytolith and anthracological records (Willis et al, 2000;Haesaerts, 2002, 2011;Willis and Van Andel, 2004;Ravazzi, 2002;Bhagwat and Willis, 2008;Sümegi et al, 2013aSümegi et al, ,b, 2015Sümegi et al, , 2018Sümegi et al, , 2019Feurdean et al, 2013Feurdean et al, , 2014Magyari et al, 2014aMagyari et al, ,b, 2019Vincze et al, 2019;Pató et al, 2020). As a result of cooling towards the end of the glacial, various species-rich forest-steppe ecotones (boreal open parkland, parkland, boreal forest steppe) emerged, which differed in the ratio of arboreal/nonarboreal elements.…”

“…Magnetic susceptibility values ranged between 20 and 75 × 10 -8 kg -1 m 3 (Fig. 3) with values for loess in general close to the normal baseline loess values of 22-25 × 10 -8 kg -1 m 3 characteristic of the Carpathian Basin (Bösken et al, 2018a,b;Marković et al, 2015;Sümegi et al, 2018;Újvári et al, 2014). Values between 37 and 45 are characteristic of the lowermost palaeosol and the assumed position of the middle archaeological layer (BAL) are similar in range to palaeosols of the LGM documented from other parts of the basin as well (Bösken et al, 2018a,b;Marković et al, 2015;Sümegi et al, 2018;Újvári et al, 2014).…”

The 10 m thick Madaras loess-palaeosol profile is one of the Hungarian outcrops that yielded Upper Palaeolithic artefacts in 1966. To clarify the nature of the deposits and establish a reliable litho-and chronostratigraphy, a profile was opened and sampled at 25 cm intervals on the northern side of the brickyard in 1975. Analyses focused on grain size, carbonate content and the mollusc fauna. The chronology was based on the mollusc composition and a single date from the archaeological layer at the depth of ca 7 m below the surface. The 1975 profile was destroyed by mining but the reposited samples allowed an extended analysis of this important Marine Isotope Stage 2 record to which archaeological features were directly assigned. A new absolute chronology was built based on 11 14 C dates. Environmental magnetic, geochemical and palaeoecological investigations allowed a refined view of site evolution with reliable chronology for the Last Glacial Maximum. Our results corroborated those of previous investigations done on other coeval loess-palaeosol sequences of the Southern Carpathian Basin. This also allowed for a temporal correlation to another local record with the published high-resolution chronology of the same brickyard and enabled modelling of local-scale heterogeneity of the environment in the long run.

In our line of work we collected data on the 11th–15th century settlement history of North-West Jászság both in historical and archaeological terms. The territorial boundary of the research was marked in the north-western part of Jászság. The time interval covered by the research was determined to be in the 11th–15th century. In the framework of the dissertation we intended to give an overview and summary of the examined area and period, thus revealing our current knowledge to research and those interested. In the course of the data collection we could build our research on the researchable archaeological finds, data archive documents and fieldwork results preserved in the collections of the Jász Museum and the János Damjanich Museum, as well as on the data in the official archaeological site register and the archaeological database of the Hungarian National Museum. Other sources of data were charters related to the medieval history of the area. A total of 85 medieval archaeological sites are currently known in the study area. The vast majority of these are settlement traces, but to a lesser extent there are medieval cemeteries and churches, four coin finds and a castle in North-West Jászság. In the framework of the dissertation, thanks to the excavation leader dr. Róbert Kertész, we also had the opportunity to process the material of the 2007 excavation at Jászfényszaru–Samsung car-park / Szőlők alja. We have knowledge of 14 settlements and estates in the study area which we know by their names from 13th–15th century charters and sometimes from later Turkish defters. In the first half of the 15th century, more villages, quarters and plains in Jászság appeared in the written sources. Based on historical and archaeological data, we outlined the history of the medieval settlements of the North-West Jászság, in which, besides the settlement network in the Arpad Period and in the late medieval times, we also addressed the influence of the Tartar invasion and the settlement of the Jász.
