The World of Nebra Sky Disc and Stonehenge: Two Great Exhibitions Inspired by Ancient Sky Lore
Ever since its discovery in 1999, the Nebra Sky Disc has been one of the best-known and most debated European Bronze Age archaeological artefacts. In 2021–2022 it was particularly in the public spotlight due to two jointly organised international exhibitions, one at the State Museum of Prehistory Halle (Saale), Germany and then one at the British Museum in London. In view of the renewed public interest in the disc that these exhibitions have awak…
A halomsíros kultúra különleges női sírja Sükösd határában
Absztrakt Sükösd határában 2020 decemberében egy halomsíros kultúrához tartozó, különlegesen gazdag mellékletekkel ellátott temetkezés került feltárásra. Az eredeti helyzetben megfigyelt fiatal nő egykori, díszes viseleti elemei közül kiemelkedik a bronz lábtekercspár és a sírban talált borostyánleletek. In December 2020, a burial belonging to the Tumulus culture with particularly rich grave goods was excavated at Sükösd. The young woman was disc…
Baltic Amber in Hungarian Bronze Age. New data and current stage of research
Amber was one of the key raw materials distributed in Bronze Age Europe. One of its varieties – succinite – wasexchanged over a vast area stretching from its sources on the southern shores of the Baltic Sea to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The chemical identification of Baltic amber significantly expands our knowledge of the dynamics and nature of the relationships connecting different regions of Europe in the first half of the second mill…
Prehistoric Light in the Air: Celestial Symbols of the Bronze Age
Depending on the geographical position of the observer, several atmospheric phenomena can be seen quite often in the sky. The visibility of the sun and the moon, and the phenomena generated by their light, might also have attracted the attention of peoples in Bronze Age Europe, as many artefacts decorated with celestial symbols (luxury items in particular) attest. I posit that the depiction of different atmospheric phenomena can be found among th…
The Role of Sun Symbols in the Burial Rite of the Middle Bronze Age Vatya Culture
The case study investigates the burial customs of the Middle Bronze Age Vatya culture in the Carpathian Basin. It aims to deliver a comparative analysis of the archaeological finds and characteristics of several cemeteries where communities cremated and buried their dead in urns. It also examines the ways grave artefacts are placed, and the shape and ornamentation of ceramics. It also gives a concise review on beliefs related to cremation. The ca…

Bezeréd-teleki-dűlő ii. egy késő neolitikus körárok a kr. e. 5. évezredből
Bezeréd-Teleki-dűlő II. lelőhelyen terepbejárás és geofizikai felmérés eredményeként a késő neolitikus lengyeli kultúra körárka vált ismertté. A feltűnően szimmetrikus alaprajzú, kettős körárok mindkét árkán 8–8 bejárat figyelhető meg, melyek némelyike előtt félköríves toldalékok jelentkeztek. A belső árok mindkét oldalán paliszádárkok mutatkoztak. A kapuk tájolása megfelel a dunántúli lengyeli körárkokra jellemző mintázatnak. A körárok belsejébe…
Celestial Symbolism in Central European Later Prehistory - Case Studies from the Bronze Age Carpathian Basin
Neolithic Circular Ditch Systems (“Rondels”) in Central Europe
Different ways of using space: Traces of domestic and ritual activities at a Late Neolithic settlement at Sormás-Török-földek
The present paper studies questions of the use of space in various ways on the basis of data obtained from a site at Sormás-Török-földek. The significance of this site lies in the fact that two enclosures were excavated here which differ in character, but which are in a close relationship physically and chronologically. They demonstrate precisely the radical change, which took place in the mode of space-use, representing two important stages of t…
Megjegyzések a lengyeli kultúra körárkainak tájolásához
A késő neolit lengyeli kultúra egyik legvitatottabb rendeltetésű építményei az úgynevezett körárkok. A földrajzi távolságok dacára a kultúra elterjedési területén belül az alaprajzok közös vonásai közös szabályok meglétét, szándékos tervezést sugallnak a földművek létrehozásában. A belső, gyakran üresnek talált területet egy vagy több kör vagy ahhoz nagyon hasonló alakú árok vette körül. Ezeket az egy- vagy többszörös körárkokat leggyakrabban két…
The orientation of rondels of the Neolithic Lengyel culture in Central Europe
The rondels – circular earthworks of late Neolithic Europe – have a repeated form highly suggestive of deliberate design and symbolism. The concentric ditches are cut by two, three or most often four causeways at right angles. Here the authors investigate the orientation of the causeways in 51 rondels belonging to the Lengyel culture and conclude that they correlate well with the sunrise. The idea of a solar cult receives some corroboration from …
An interpretation of the Nebra disc
The Nebra disc is one of the most sensational European discoveries of the decade. It appears to carry symbols of the sun, moon and stars wrought in gold on a flat bronze disc just over a foot across (320mm). It is not only very strange, but, famously, appears to be winking, initially raising the suspicion that it may be a hoax. Scholars have, however, claimed it firmly for the Bronze Age, and the debate now moves to the matter of its meaning. Her…
Symbolism and traditions in the society of the Bell Beaker - Csepel group
In the present paper, we called attention to a so far unknown religious idea of the Bell Beaker - Csepel group after observations made at the excavation of Budapest-Albertfalva, archaeo-astronomical analyses, two special shards with channelled knob ornaments and their analogues. The schematic representation of the Sun symbol appears, although rarely, in the accompanying material (“Begleitkeramik”) of the Csepel group (on grave ceramics, the Alber…
The sun and the Rösaring ceremonial road
A well-built roadway from the early Viking Age at the Rösaring archaeological site in central Sweden is assumed by archaeologists to have been used for processions. The road is here examined in relation to its environment, the sun and the moon, the Milky Way and the rainbow. The aim was to extend landscape archaeology to include natural phenomena and their impact on prehistoric monuments as an aid to conventional archaeology. The play of sunlight…
Orientation of Maltese 'Dolmens'
Measurements of the orientation of Maltese dolmens show that they are aligned so as to run parallel with landscape contours and in particular with the flow of streams in the valleys below them. This result indicates that the dolmens served purposes other than that of mere burial places of the dead and that natural features of the landscape held meaning and significance for prehistoric people
The orientation of rondels of the Neolithic Lengyel culture in Central Europe
The rondels – circular earthworks of late Neolithic Europe – have a repeated form highly suggestive of deliberate design and symbolism. The concentric ditches are cut by two, three or most often four causeways at right angles. Here the authors investigate the orientation of the causeways in 51 rondels belonging to the Lengyel culture and conclude that they correlate well with the sunrise. The idea of a solar cult receives some corroboration from …
