Hidden in the mound – Exploring the stratigraphy and paleoenvironmental context of an Early Iron Age burial mound (Süttő, Hungary) by semi-destructive pedological and botanical approaches
Combined semi-destructive approach enhances the understanding of the stratigraphy of Early Iron Age burial mound. • Paleosoil transmits pedological and land use information of the Middle Danube valley. • Geoarchaeological, archaeobotanical and radiocarbon data provide details on the life cycle of Early Iron Age burial mound. Early Iron Age burial mounds (800/750–550 cal BC) in the Carpathian Basin hold significant environmental and cultural value…
Settlement Dynamics and Fortification Practices in the Middle Bronze Age
This article presents the results of investigations at the Middle Bronze Age fortified settlement of Dabas–Dabasi Szőlők in the Kakucs microregion of central Hungary. The study aimed to establish the chronology of occupation and the relationship between habitation and fortification processes. A multi-method approach was applied, including magnetometry, vibra-coring, sedimentological and macrocharcoal analyses, as well as AMS radiocarbon dating. T…
Dasypyrum villosum (mosquito grass) in archaeobotanical assemblages from the Balkans and east-central Europe reveals aspects of human plant- and land use
Archaeobotanists working in the Balkans and the Carpathian Basin in the 1980s documented remains resembling wild rye caryopses in the deposits from the Bronze and Iron ages, and named them “weedy rye” or “small Secale ”. It took years and more finds, including those of chaff, to identify these remains more precisely—as Dasypyrum villosum (mosquito grass). The first systematic overview of archaeobotanical records of this species in the Balkans and…

Vátyon középkori település mezőgazdaság-történeti kutatása non-destruktív módszerekre alapozott régészeti talajtani és régészeti növénytani adatok alapján
Absztrakt Kutatásunkban a Békés vármegyei Geszt település határában található, középkori Vátyon falu interdiszciplináris vizsgálati eredményeit mutatjuk be. A kutatás célja kettős volt. Egy módszertani kísérletben ötvözni kívántuk a non-destruktív lelőhely-felderítési módszereket (régészeti terepbejárás és magnetométeres felmérés) és a régészeti talajtan módszereit annak érdekében, hogy a kutatott településre és időszakra vonatkozóan ásatás nélkü…
Millet and honey in a Late Bronze Age Kirkendrup–Jenišovice-type bronze cup from the Somló Hill
The study presents a recently discovered bronze cup and the results of its THM-GC/MS analysis from Somló Hill, County Veszprém, Hungary. The cup came to light during an organised metal detector survey in 2024 as part of a hoard of 2,934 artefacts (Hoard VIII). This elaborately decorated vessel belongs to the supra-regional group of metal vessels known as Kirkendrup-Jenišovice-type cups. These cups are typically dated to the Ha B1 phase and occasi…
Somogytúr-Hegyalja-dűlő régészeti lelőhely komplex vizsgálata
Absztrakt A Somogytúr-Hegyalja-dűlő régészeti lelőhely 2021-ben végzett megelőző feltárása során a közép-európai vonaldíszes kerámia kultúrájához (VK) tartozó település került elő, amely a kultúra fiatalabb, ún. Keszthely-stílusú kerámiával jellemezhető szakaszához köthető a régióban. A lelőhelyen végzett komplex, interdiszciplináris kutatás célja az volt, hogy régészeti, archaeobotanikai és környezettörténeti adatok integrálásával pontosabb képe…
Later prehistoric hoarding and habitation on Somló Hill, western Hungary
Somló Hill (Veszprém County, Hungary) is a prominent Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age hilltop settlement. Six new hoards present the unparalleled opportunity to study hoarding traditions and depositional practices, and to evaluate the changing roles and functions of the hilltop site
Layer by layer – Dismantling a Yamnaya kurgan by geochemical, pedological and statistical approaches (Wallachain Plain, Romania)
Geoarchaeological approach combining pedological and archaeological data enhances the understanding of the construction of Yamnaya kurgans. • Palaeosoil buried at the end of the 4 th millennium BC transmits pedological information on the contemporary steppe environment. • Archaeological and geoarchaeological sources reveal and provide details on the ‘cultural re-use’ of Bronze Age Yamnaya kurgans. Kurgans are peculiar, human-made formations of th…

Construction materials and building techniques - Comparing anthropogenic sediments of three Middle Bronze Age sites from Hungary
This paper compares various 'earthen' construction materials and building techniques from three Middle Bronze Age tell (multi-layered settlement) sites in Hungary: Százhalombatta-Földvár, Kakucs-Turján (Vatya material culture) and Borsodivánka-Marhajárás-Nagyhalom (Otomani-Füzesabony Cultural Circle (OFCC)). It employs microscopic analyses - archaeological soil micromorphology and phytolith analysis within thin sections - to examine floor, wall a…
Land cover and use-history of large empty spaces at fortified Iron Age hilltop sites; a case study from La Terrasse, Bibracte oppidum
The research of Iron Age oppida and hillforts plays a significant role in understanding the urbanisation processes throughout the European continent. The habitation and built-up areas have always been in the limelight of both traditional and environmental archaeological research. However, at many oppida, there were also large, unoccupied empty spaces. As they are crucial for understanding these settlements’ internal organisation, their functions …
River, landscape and settlement in the Middle Ages
The development of interdependence between human communities and natural environment is a global strategic issue determining the lives of coming generations. The planned research intends to contribute to a deeper understanding of this dynamic process by reconstructing the environmental image of three study areas along the Körös River prior to river regulations or in the Middle Ages, and by examining the communities’ settlements and lifestyles ada…

Development of a Middle Bronze Age (1900-1500 cal BC) house at the site of Százhalombatta-Földvár, Hungary
Százhalombatta-Földvár Bronze Age tell settlement is one of the most extensively studied sites of Hungary. Interdisciplinary approach is one of the key factors in understanding the past here. Therefore, a range of natural scientific methods are applied, including thin section soil micromorphology and phytolith analysis. The high resolution of these techniques is used to add details that are impossible via traditional archaeological means. In this…
Plant Based Subsistence Strategy of the Medieval Ishmaelite (12th–13th c.) Population in the Carpathian Basin (NE-Hungary)
During the excavation carried out at the outskirts of Hajdúböszörmény (NE-Hungary) in 2011, the remains of a 12–13th century settlement were brought to light. Linguistic and historical research has previously presumed that one of the main centres of medieval Hungary’s Muslim (Ishmaelites) population is located in the northern-eastern part of the Great Hungarian Plain. At Hajdúböszörmény–Téglagyár ‘2’ archaeological site several household units we…
Petrological Analysis of Late Neolithic Ceramics from the Tell Settlement of Gorzsa (South-East Hungary)
Technology is usually defined as the processes and practices associated with production and consumption, from design to discard; hence, pottery use is a part of complex social interactions that constitute technological systems. The functional analysis comprises several different lines of investigation. This chapter is focused on the intended function of the Early (Starcevo) and Late Neolithic (Vinca) pottery. By examining formal properties (fabri…

Phytoliths of six woody species important in the Carpathians
Phytoliths—also known as plant opals—are preserved in soils and sediments and have taxonomical relevance, therefore phytoliths can be fingerprints of the vegetation of the period from which they originated. Comparative phytolith studies are essential for finding phytolith morphotypes with taxonomic relevance. These are used to build reference collections for future palaeoecological and archaeobotanical studies. Biogenic silica extracted from the …
