Assessing the prevalence of benevolent childhood experiences in two samples in Hungary
Background Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) may counteract the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Narayan and colleagues have developed the Benevolent Childhood Experiences (BCEs) Scale, which has been the most cited PCE measure in recent years. Objectives There is no validated instrument available to measure PCEs in the Hungarian population, so we aimed to adapt the original and extended versions of the BCE Scale and to test t…
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…
Web Databases, Data Analysis and Modelling in Archaeological Research
One of the greatest scientific and social challenges of the 21st century in all disciplines is the storage, structuring, modelling, interpretation, and publication of large, complex research data sets (big data). Archaeological research is no exception. Over the past two decades, this discipline has developed through much more intensive cooperation with life and natural sciences than before, and is now faced with the exponential growth and expans…
Webes adatbázisok, adatelemzés és modellezés a régészeti kutatásban
A 21. század egyik legnagyobb tudományos és társadalmi kihívása minden tudományágban a nagy méretű, komplex kutatási adatállományok (big data) tárolása, strukturálása, modellezése, értelmezése és közzététele. Ez alól a régészeti kutatás sem kivétel. E tudományág – az utóbbi két évtizedben több élet- és természettudománnyal kialakult, a korábbinál jóval intenzívebb együttműködése révén – az ugrásszerűen megsokszorozódott és kibővült adatok kezelés…
Fifteen Years of the “Students for Children” Program
The Students for Children program has been running for more than 15 years in Hungary, offering university students an opportunity to engage in child protection work through a trauma-informed, interdisciplinary approach. The program serves a dual purpose: supporting children in specialized care while equipping students with practical experience in working with vulnerable populations. Through structured classroom training, supervised volunteer work…
Extended pre-domestication horse lineage survival in the Carpathian Basin
Horse domestication is a key element in history for its impact on human mobility and warfare. There is a clear evidence for horse control from the beginning of the 2nd millennium BCE in the Carpathian Basin, when antler cheekpieces appear in the archaeological record mostly in the eastern areas. Previous archaeogenomic studies also revealed that the spread of the ancestors of modern day horses began at this time period, although the replacement d…
Middle Bronze Age fortification systems’ evolution in Kakucs-Turján in the light of geoarchaeological studies
During the Middle Bronze Age (ca. 2000–1500 BC), the Carpathian Basin witnessed new cultural groups characterized by distinctively different pottery styles and burial rites but unified by the occupation of sites surrounded by ditches or combinations of ditches and ramparts (Bóna 1975; Kovács 1984; Sørensen and Rebay-Salisbury 2008). Due to their long occupation, many such sites are classified as multi-layered settlements (Gogâltan et al. 2014; Ja…
New radiocarbon dates from the Bronze Age Tiszafüred-Majoroshalom site (Eastern Hungary)
In this paper we present new AMS radiocarbon dates from the Bronze Age cemetery of Tiszafüred-Majoroshalom excavated between 1961 and 1972. The cemetery provides crucial information on the cultural development and chronology of the Bronze Age Otomani-Füzesabony and the Tumulus cultures of Eastern Central Europe, in addition to the transition between the Middle and Late Bronze Age (approx. 1500 BC) in the Great Hungarian Plain
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…
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…

The First ‘Urnfields’ in the Plains of the Danube and the Po
Archaeological research is currently redefining how large-scale changes occurred in prehistoric times. In addition to the long-standing theoretical dichotomy between ‘cultural transmission’ and ‘demic diffusion’, many alternative models borrowed from sociology can be used to explain the spread of innovations. The emergence of urnfields in Middle and Late Bronze Age Europe is certainly one of these large-scale phenomena; its wide distribution has …
The origins and spread of domestic horses from the Western Eurasian steppes
Domestication of horses fundamentally transformed long-range mobility and warfare 1 . However, modern domesticated breeds do not descend from the earliest domestic horse lineage associated with archaeological evidence of bridling, milking and corralling 2–4 at Botai, Central Asia around 3500 bc 3 . Other longstanding candidate regions for horse domestication, such as Iberia 5 and Anatolia 6 , have also recently been challenged. Thus, the genetic,…
Methods and Opportunities in the Research of Bronze Age Communities
Although there is no textual evidence known from the Bronze Age, written sources describing migrations of later (i.e. Early Medieval) periods effecting the Carpathian Basin were interpreted as instances of cultural and population change which could be comparable with processes that took place during the Bronze Age in the Carpathian Basin. In the past two decades, Eurasian archaeological research received a new impetus to investigate the traces of…
Módszerek és lehetőségek a bronzkori közösségek kutatásában
Bár írásos emlékeket nem ismerünk a bronzkor időszakából, a Kárpát-medencét érintő későbbi (pl. kora középkori) népvándorlásokra vonatkozó források ismeretében gyakran a bronzkor változásait is új népek betelepüléséhez, kisebb-nagyobb migrációkhoz kötötte a régészeti kutatás. Az utóbbi két évtizedben újra előtérbe került a történelem előtti időkben feltételezhető eurázsiai vándorlások nyomainak azonosítása, a kutatásba immár más tudományágak, töb…
“Students for Children”
Foster care institutions are badly understaffed and operate on the lowest expected standards in terms of human resources in Hungary. In many cases, child protection personnel working with children in foster care do not have the necessary qualifications, and even those that do are often so overloaded with tasks that they cannot routinely engage in meaningful social interactions with the children. This paper introduces a unique and easily adaptable…

An Enigmatic Funnel Find of the Somogyvár-Vinkovci Culture from Balatonőszöd-Temetői dűlő in Transdanubia, Hungary
A small section of an Early Bronze Age settlement made up of pits was uncovered at the prehistoric, multi-period site of Balatonszd-Temeti dl. In addition to ceramics of the Somogyvr-Vinkovci culture, the finds from Pit 2563 included an enigmatic artefact of baked clay. Despite the fact that analogous archaeological finds and various archaeometric analyses have provided several clues for a conclusive determination of its function, comparable find…
Kakucs-Balla-domb. A case study in the absolute and relative chronology of the Vatya culture
The present study hopes to contribute to Middle Bronze Age studies in two specific areas: first, by publishing a new series of radiocarbon dates for a period from which there are few absolute dates, and second, by describing a less known area in the Vatya culture distribution based on the investigations at Kakucs.The Kakucs area was increasingly intensively settled during the course of the Bronze Age. In this context, the area along the left Danu…
Identifying kurgan graves in Eastern Hungary
Isotopic analyses of human tooth enamel are increasingly applied to provide answers to archaeological questions. 87 Sr/ 86 Sr and 18 O analyses are used to investigate small-and large-scale mobility and migration of prehistoric human individuals. Within a pilot study looking into the kurgan graves in the Eastern Carpathian Basin, we analysed the tooth enamel of 8 humans from the Early Bronze Age burial mound of Srrtudvari-O rhalom, Hungary. Accor…
Immigration and transhumance in the Early Bronze Age Carpathian Basin
You never know until you look. The authors deconstruct a kurgan burial mound in the Great Hungarian Plain designated to the Yamnaya culture, to find it was actually shared by a number of different peoples. The Yamnaya were an influential immigrant group of the Late Copper Age/Early Bronze Age transition. The burials, already characterised by their grave goods, were radiocarbon dated and further examined using stable isotope analysis on the human …
