Late Nomadic Burial on the Outskirts of Debrecen (Preliminary Report)

Related to a battery manufacturing investment project on the righthand bank of the Kondoros stream on the outskirts of Debrecen, we have unearthed a late nomadic grave. Based on the find material of the symbolic equestrian burial introduced in the present study, it may be dated to the second half of the 13th century. Due to the mega-projects in the Southern Economic Zone, archaeological investigations have already been conducted on several hundred hectares in the area, but a grave of a similar age and with similar ritual elements has not been found so far. Thus, the grave at the edge of medieval Szepes can be interpreted as an isolated burial, probably of the Cuman population
