Ménfőcsanak a kelta vándorlás egyik kulcsfontosságú lelőhelye Győr közelében. Ez Magyarország, de talán a teljes Kárpát-medence legnagyobb felületen és legteljesebben kutatott késő vaskori települése. Közelében az azonos korú temető több száz sírja is feltárásra került, köztük olyanok is, amelyek mellékleteik alapján egyértelműen a Kr. e. 4. század első felére datálható kelta népmozgással hozhatók összefüggésbe. A lelőhely jelentősége a kelet-magyarországi Sajópetrihez mérhető; a Ménfőcsanakon napvilágra hozott leletanyag feldolgozása és elemzése jelenleg is folyik. Ez a könyv a Győr–Ménfőcsanak határában, a Szeles-dűlőben, a mai 83-as számú út és a mellette létesült bevásárlóközpont területén 1993–1998 között végzett régészeti feltárásokon napvilágra került késő vaskori település leletanyagának bemutatását és tudományos értékelését tartalmazza. A kötetben tárgyalt kutatási eredmények által átfogó képet kapunk egy falusias jellegű késő vaskori településről, vagyis a kelták mindennapi életének színteréről – Sajópetri és Polgár után – a Dunántúlon is.
Ménfőcsanak near Győr is the largest excavated late Iron Age settlement complex in Hungary. Its contemporaneous cemetery has also been brought to light, featuring burials with grave goods that connect the site to the Celtic migrations in the first half of the 4th century BC. This site’s relevance is comparable to that of Sajópetri in East-Hungary, and the enormous assemblage unearthed from here is still being processed and analysed. This book presents the findings from the late Iron Age settlement excavated on Szeles Hill at Ménfőcsanak in 1993–1998, providing a comprehensive view on a rural settlement in Transdanubia in the late Iron Age. The book includes a detailed summary in English as well as English captions for the tables and images.

The paper focuses on a group of finds obtained recently in a metal detector survey in the area of Velem-Szent Vid. Most artefacts found in the late La Tène oppidum are agricultural tools. They are the most important archaeological evidence available to us for reconstructing the agricultural equipment used during the Late Iron Age and, based on them, food production techniques. Diverse tools were utilised in specific agricultural processes. The plough, the most important tool of soil cultivation, and its components are discussed in the study, and an attempt is made to draw conclusions about the ways of land use in the Late Iron Age based on plough part finds from Celtic contexts.

A research team of the Institute of Archaeological Sciences of the Eötvös Loránd University continued the fieldwork between 1 September 2022 and 31 December 2023 on two Early and Middle Iron Age sites, Dédestapolcsány-Verebce-bérc and Dédestapolcsány-Várerdő, in the frame of a project investigating Early Iron Age crises. New excavation trenches were opened at the fortified settlement in the north of the Bükk Mountains (Northern Hungary). One was an extension of a trench opened in 2022, where remains of a burnt house had been identified. Metal detector surveys recovered some new fascinating stray metal finds (e.g., an akinakes, battle axes, and the bronze protective sheath of a sword) and new assemblages (iron tool deposits and a hoard of gold jewellery and amber beads). Eleven more graves were excavated in the cemetery (Várerdő) north of the coeval settlement. The most interesting grave was the burial of an adult man with rich grave goods such as an ironworking toolkit, pottery, and other items.

The Iron Age is characterized by an extended interweaving of movements by Celts in Europe. Several waves of Celts from Western and Central Europe migrated southeast and west from the core area of the La Te´ne culture (between Bourgogne and Bohemia). Through the analysis of non-metric dental traits, this work aims to understand the biological relationship among Celtic groups arrived in Italy and the Carpathian Basin, as well as between local populations and Celtic newcomers. A total of 10 non-metric dental traits were analyzed to evaluate biological affinities among Celts (Sopron-Krautacker and Pilismaro´t-Basaharc) and Scythians-related populations from Hungary (Ta´pio´ szele), Celts from continental
Europe (Switzerland and Austria), two Iron Age Etruscan-Celtic sites from northern Italy (Monterenzio Vecchio and Monte Bibele), 13 Iron Age central-southern Italic necropolises, and the northern Italian Bronze Age necropolis of Scalvinetto. Strontium isotopes were measured on individuals from the necropolis of Monte Bibele to infer their local or non local origin.
Results highlight the existence of statistically significant differences between Celts and autochthonous Italian groups. Celtic groups from Hungary and Italy (i.e., non-local individuals of Monterenzio Vecchio and Monte Bibele) share a similar biological background, supporting the historical records mentioning a common origin for Celts migrated to the eastern and southern borders of today’s Europe. The presence of a supposed Steppean ancestry both in Celts from Hungary and Celts from northern Italy corroborates the hypothesis of the existence of a westward migration of individuals and genes from the Steppe towards northern
Italy during the Bronze and Iron Age, which contributed to the biological variability of pre-Celtic and later Celtic populations, respectively. Conversely, individuals from central-southern Italy show an autochthonous pre-Iron Age background. Lastly, this work supports the existence of Celtic migratory routes in northern Italy, as shown by biological and cultural admixture between Celts and Italics living together.

The systematic field survey of the Szécsény Basin continued in and around Benczúrfalva-Majorhegy. The Late Bronze Age site, researched for over a century, has been the subject of comprehensive data collection. We attempted to reconstruct previously discovered find assemblages and identify the trenches and circumstances of earlier excavations. Remote sensing methods were used to investigate the shape of the settlement and traces of a presumed fortification. A metal detector survey carried out as part of a community archaeology programme has provided new data on the characteristics, extent, and periods of the site. The professional excavation of diverse hoards and the scientific analysis of the finds enabled us to improve our knowledge of the Late Bronze Age of the region.

In the focus of this paper stand three remarkable vessels with characteristic decorative elements of the late Iron Age, associated with the La Tène material culture of Central and Eastern Europe. The finds from one of the key sites of the late Iron Age research in Hungary were brought to the Hungarian National Museum from the cemetery of Szob. These pots are not unknown to the scientific community, they have been dealt with in various aspects in the past. However, the full details have not yet been published. The aim of this short study is to publish these vessels precisely, based on a review of the original documents and using modern digital methods. It also examines and contextualizes these important findings in the light of recent data and research.

During 2021 much more archaeological research was carried out in Nógrád county than in the previous years. In present study I tried to collect not only the archaeological work carried out by the Dornyay Béla Museum, but also all the archaeological research done in the county. Excavations that ended with completely negative result, or even didn’t concern known archaeological site were not included in this collection. I have divided the publication into two main parts: archaeological excavations and fieldsurveys.
Excavations could be divided into four categories: full-scale preventive excavations (2), trial excavations (11), excavations carried out in the framework of archaeological observation (6), planed excavations / rescue excavations (3). The excavation carried out under the leadership of Judit Szigeti next to the settlement called Kisbárkány cannot yet be fully classified in the last category, because several institutions joined forces and were carried out with volunteers, moreover it was planned and the main goal was to save a dilapidated cemetery from the 11th century. The two preventive excavations of the Dornyay Béla Museum were related to two separate projects on the same archaeological site.
Fieldsurveys and community archeological research have also proliferated in the county. A total of 16 sites are presented here, but the community archeological team of the Hungarian National Museum has carried out research on a further 30 sites, some of which have been unknown until now.

Present-day people from England and Wales harbour more ancestry derived from Early European Farmers (EEF) than people of the Early Bronze Age1. To understand this, we generated genome-wide data from 793 individuals, increasing data from the Middle to Late Bronze and Iron Age in Britain by 12-fold, and Western and Central Europe by 3.5-fold. Between 1000 and 875 BC, EEF ancestry increased in southern Britain (England and Wales) but not northern Britain (Scotland) due to incorporation of migrants who arrived at this time and over previous centuries, and who were genetically most similar to ancient individuals from France. These migrants contributed about half the ancestry of Iron Age people of England and Wales, thereby creating a plausible vector for the spread of early Celtic languages into Britain. These patterns are part of a broader trend of EEF ancestry becoming more similar across central and western Europe in the Middle to Late Bronze Age, coincident with archaeological evidence of intensified cultural exchange2–6. There was comparatively less gene flow from continental Europe during the Iron Age, and Britain’s independent genetic trajectory is also reflected in the rise of the allele conferring lactase persistence to ~50% by this time compared to ~7% in central Europe where it rose rapidly in frequency only a millennium later. This suggests that dairy products were used in qualitatively different ways in Britain and in central Europe over this period.

One of the important cemetery and settlement of the Celts lies in a plateau on the southern side of the Öreg Rába river, in the vicinity of Győr-Ménfőcsanak. The first burials were found in 1967 during a short rescue excavation, however it made Ménfőcsanak a key La Tène site in the Carpathian Basin. Excavations investigated on a larger scale in the area of a previously known cemetery in 1993–94. The burial rite of the necropolis was mainly inhumation and only two graves were cremated and two biritual graves. Celtic warriors with swords and richly furnished females with fibulae, coral, amber, and glass beads jewelry were also buried in this part of the cemetery. Few graves were limited by rectangular enclosing trenches. According to find analyzing this part of the cemetery dates to the LT B period, and that is why Ménfőcsanak became an important archaeological site in terms of burials in the history of the Celtic “migrations” in the fourth century BC.

Piliny is a small village with a few hundred inhabitants in the picturesque Görbe Land in County Nógrád. Yet, it is also an important location in the
cradle of Hungarian archaeology, where members of the Nyáry family, driven by their interest in, and commitment to, Hungarian archaeological scholarship, conducted memorable investigations on the land they owned. Their untiring collecting activity and their persistence in assessing the finds was a continuation of the work of Ferenc Kubinyi, their predecessor, to whom they were also related by blood. They contributed much to the archaeological investigation of the settlement and to the better understanding of its prehistory, which commanded
considerable attention in the international archaeological community. The present study offers an overview of our research project funded by the National Cultural Fund, whose goal was to identify the locations
of the excavations conducted by Baron Jenő Nyáry and his brother and son, both called Albert.

Jelen írásunkban a Nemzeti Kulturális Alap által támogatott kutatási projektünk eredményeiről számolunk be, melynek célja a báró Nyáry Jenő és fia, Albert által végzett feltárások helyszíneinek hitelesítése volt.

The recently unearthed chariot burials at Páty and Sajópetri has been studied in this paper. The two-wheeled war chariot is one of the emblematic finds of La Tène culture and analyzed in detail in many recent publications. At this stage of the research, three new chariot burials were unearthed by modern excavation methods and well documented in Hungary in the last two decades. Generally, the discoveries of La Tène chariots or their elements are relatively rare in the Carpathian Basin. The necropolis of Sajópetri is considered a particularly important site with the two cremation burials including the iron elements of chariots. Another remarkable chariot burial was discovered in Páty, ten kilometers west from Budapest. There are some similarities and differences between them, which have many major aspects to our knowledge about chariot burial unearthed in the Carpathian Basin and Northwest-Balkan.

During recent archaeological surveys with metal detectors in 2017 three late Iron Age iron depot were uncovered in the oppidum of Velem-Szent Vid. These tool hoards are considered a typical Celtic phenomenon. They
contained two or three agricultural implements or woodworking equipment. All three hoards were found in situ, in their original location and context, which were precisely documented. The finds of Velem undoubtedly belong to the group of tools that were primarily used during agricultural works, and they show numerous analogies in the late La Tène period.

Szilvásvárad-Lovaspálya is situated in the Szalajka valley, in the western part of the Bükk Mountain in Northeast-Hungary. The site was first researched by some survey trenches in 1967 and then by a large-scale rescue excavation in connection with the development of a horse racing
track and its facilities in 2016. Traces of the settlements of the Middle Neolithic Bükk Culture, the Late Bronze Age Kyjatice Culture, and the Late Iron Age La Tène Culture, furthermore an early and a late phase of a Barbarian village from the Roman Period were found at this multiperiod archaeological site. Many unique finds were uncovered and interesting information was documented, but in this paper, we are focusing on the traces and finds of iron forging. Analysing the Late Iron Age settlement it is conspicuous that a large number of features and artifacts can be referred to iron processing. A significant amount of iron slag was uncovered with the semi-finished products, fragments of different tuyeres and remains of kilns. Two examples of settlement features are presented here, which can be connected to metalworking. Feature no. 564 –566. was an amorphous pit that contained many iron slags. The other interesting settlement feature was building no. 2122., where some remains of a reheating fireplace with block-tuyeres were found at the bottom of the semi-subterranean building. The huge limestone rock was uncovered near the kiln, which can be identified as an anvil because there was an abrasion on the upper surface of the rock. Probably it is linked to the process of forging. A pit for water and another pit for charcoal near the rock inside the sunken building was also documented. The slags that were found in the fills of the features were identified by archaeo-metallurgical analysis as forge slags, which were the by-products of the manufacturing process. The other finds – especially the pottery shards – can be identified well to culture and chronology. The forms and materials of pottery fragments are typical of the La Tène culture and have many analogies in the 3rd century BC. The shape of a sunken building is also commonly known from the Eastern Celtic era.
The importance of the presently published data is that these recently discovered traces of iron manufacturing provide new aspects to the Late Iron Age forging in the Carpathian Basin.

The eponymous archaeological site at Piliny
Piliny is a small village in northeast-Hungary, where many prehistoric settlements and cemeteries were discovered by the barons Albert and Jenő Nyáry in the late 19 th century One of that places is the Borsós hill, where they discovered numerous cremation graves. these finds were exhibited on the prehistoric international congress held in Budapest 1876. Based on the bronze inventories of these cremated burials from Piliny, a LBA cultural entity in Northeast-Hungary could be outlined. In 1933, slovakian archaeologist J. eisner named it as Piliny culture, and Piliny-Borsós became the eponym site of a long lasting LBA archaeological circle. the site on the Borsós bears a different, although long forgotten importance as well. Pioneers of Hungarian archaeology described scythian featured artefacts in the Carpathian Basin at the end of 19 th century based upon finds from Piliny. Later, even the location of the famous site became forgotten. ever since, many researchers tried to identify the cemetery unsuccessfully. We grounded a new project with systematic field survey, supplemented with uaV aerial survey and metal detecting. many new finds, ceramic shards, fragments of bronze nails, daggers and razors, etc. were found from LBa, while a scythian bronze arrowhead and a fragment of Celtic anklet were also collected by using metal detectors. some cremated human remains also confirmed the existence of the cemetery. In this study, we give a summary of the results of our recent investigations.

A Mátra vidéke különösen gazdag késő vaskori régészeti leletekben. A szórványos adatok gyakorisága mellett az első nagyobb temetőfeltárásra az 1950-es években Mátraszőlős határában került sor. Ugyanakkor az ezredfordulót követő jelentős ipari és közérdekű beruházások hozadékaként jelentősen gyarapodott az ismert lelőhelyek száma e térségben. A nagyszámú telepfeltárás mellett a Ludas és Gyöngyös határában feltárt késő vaskori temetők a kelta leletek korábban nem ismert gazdagságát tárják elénk, és egyedülálló lehetőséget biztosítanak a kelta társadalom összetételének, szokásainak és életmódjának vizsgálatára. A Mátra az Északi-középhegység vulkáni eredetű tagja, amelyet nyugatról a Cserháttól a Zagyva, kelet felől a Bükk-hegységtől pedig a Tarna völgye választ el. Alig van olyan jelenkori település, amelynek közigazgatási területén ne kerületek volna elő kelta leletek, temetkezések.

Múlt, jelen, jövő Magyarország egyik legjelentősebb régészeti vállalkozása, az MTA Régészeti Intézete által több mint fél évszázaddal ezelőtt útjára indított Magyarország Régészeti Topográfiája (MRT) című sorozat az ország egész területére kiterjedő adatgyűjtéssel a felszíni terepmunkával felderíthető lelőhelyek teljességre törekvő összegyűjtését és kiadását tűzte ki célul. Ma ez a munka 11 megjelent kötetnél és az ország teljes területe 12%-ának átvizsgálásánál tart, ami – bár komoly teljesítményt jelent – a program végét a belát-hatatlan jövőben jelöli ki. A bizonytalanságot növelték a hagyományos módon készülő, egyre ritkábban megjelenő kötetek, melyek az MRT-hez kapcsolódó kutatások fokozatos leállását vetítették előre. Az MRT folytathatóságáról és digitális korszerűsítéséről – az első kötet megjelenésének 50 éves évfordulójához igazítva – 2015-ben nagyszabású konferencián tanácskoztak régészek, örökségvédelmi szakemberek, geofizikusok, geológusok, térinformatikusok és számos más szakma képviselői. Jelen kötetünk az akkor elhangzott, majd kiegészített, módszertanilag is újat hozó tanulmányokat teszi közzé. Ezek közös tanulsága, hogy a továbblépés jelentős intézményi, intézményközi összefogást és komoly szakmai tervezést igényel a régészeti kutatás akadémiai, egyetemi és közgyűjteményi területei között, bevonva az államigazgatás és az örökségvédelem szakembereit is. A szemléletében és módszereiben is megújuló sorozat reményeink szerint nemcsak a hazánk múltjáról szerzett tudományos ismereteket gyarapítja majd, hanem a nagyberuházások jobb tervezését és a várható régészeti emlékek hatékonyabb megmentését is segíteni fogja.

The Celtic cemetery of Szob is a key site dating to the Iron Age La Tène period in the Carpathian Basin. The site was investigated shortly before World War II and the results published in a preliminary report in 1944. Szob gained importance from the Hellenistic bronze kantharos found at the site among various other La Tène artefacts. A number of object types, however, shed light on other aspects of the necropolis. An iron rodshaped pin can undoubtedly be linked to the Mokorog group, and the spearbutt with a long spike, which also occurs in the northern zone of the
Carpathian Basin, distributed mainly along the Sava and Drava Rivers in the southwestern regions. Analogies of a bronze fibula decorated with pseudo-granulation and pseudo-filigree technique are mostly known
from Hungary, but can also be found in the territories of Slovenia and Slavonia. The La Tène burials of Szob fit nicely into the sequence of cemeteries dating to the same period unearthed in northern Hungary, however some characteristic features link them with burial grounds uncovered in the southwestern regions of the Carpathian Basin.

Polgár 1:Iron Age settlement (3 rd century BC). The Celtic settlement at Polgár was an open rural settlement. This type is generally considered to have agricultural features, which, however, cannot be supported by finds. On the contrary, the clay tuyere found in feature no. 100 and the soot layer that covered the floor of building no. 318 attest to industrial activities. The composition of the find material shows an absolute dominance of pottery sherds. According to the analysis, pottery vessels that can be linked with the so-called Scythian autochthonous population of the Great Hungarian Plain can also be found beside La Tène ceramic types. Accordingly, the survival of the former population and its amalgamation with the immigrant Celts can be supposed. This find situation is basically identical to the archaeological picture of the settlement uncovered at Sajópetri. This is reinforced by the fact that both settlements were established in the LT B2 period and both were peacefully abandoned by the inhabitants in the LT C1 period.

A Nógrád megyei Piliny község az ország régészeti emlékeinek egyik páratlanul gazdag helyszíne. A Várhegy és a község déli szélén emelkedő Borsós a magyar régészettudomány történetének egy-egy fontos színtere. Az XIX. század második felén báró Nyáry Jenő, majd unokaöccse Albert végzett ásatásokat és leletgyűjtéseket, amelyek eredményeit az Archaeologia Értesítő első számaiban ismertették. Az impozáns tárgyak az 1876-ban Budapesten megrendezett nemzetközi régészeti kongresszuson kerültek kiállításra és azonnal a szakmai érdeklődés középpontjába kerültek. Ennek révén lett a Borsós későbronzkori urnatemetője a pilinyi kultúra névadó lelőhelye, másrészt pedig a királyi Magyarországon az elsőként feltárt koravaskori temető, amely alapján elsőként írták le, majd azonosították a kárpát-medencei szkíta emlékanyagot.
Annak ellenére, hogy a környék gazdag régészeti emlékeiről a magyar és nemzetközi régészettudománynak 150 éve van tudomása, a régészet úttörői által végzett ásatások pontos helye az idők során feledésbe merült: Mivel a régi leírások némileg elnagyoltak és helyenként ellentmondásosak, ezért az eddigi lokalizációs kísérletek legfeljebb hozzávetőlegesek lehettek.
A 2018-ban indult, az NKA támogatásából megvalósuló projekt célja a Nyáry bárók kutatási helyszíneinek azonosítása, amelyet komplex lelőhelyfelderítő kutatásokkal kívánunk megvalósítani. Az alkalmazott módszerek között elsődlegesen az adattári gyűjtésen alapuló szisztematikus terepbejárás, fémkereső műszerrel végzett lelet lokalizáció, magnetométeres felmérés, valamint UAV használatával megvalósított légi lelőhelyfelderítés szerepelnek. A poszteren a legújabb kutatási eredményeinket kívánjuk bemutatni.
Annak ellenére, hogy a környék gazdag régészeti emlékeiről a magyar és nemzetközi régészettudománynak 150 éve van tudomása, a régészet úttörői által végzett ásatások pontos helye az idők során feledésbe merült: Mivel a régi leírások némileg elnagyoltak és helyenként ellentmondásosak, ezért az eddigi lokalizációs kísérletek legfeljebb hozzávetőlegesek lehettek.
A 2018-ban indult, az NKA támogatásából megvalósuló projekt célja a Nyáry bárók kutatási helyszíneinek azonosítása, amelyet komplex lelőhelyfelderítő kutatásokkal kívánunk megvalósítani.

Micro-regional archaeological research has always been core interest for generations of archaeologists. Nowadays, when large scale infrastructure works and intensive agricultural activities lead to extensive archaeological rescue actions, non-destructive micro-regional research with topographic orientation is still getting considerable attention. Generally, not only commonly used archaeological field surveys with surface collections, but also other types of non-invasive investigation methods (e.g. geophysical prospections, remote sensing) have been adopted and used for exploring our past. Conferences and workshops were held, and even technical manuals were published presenting case studies with different approaches. In this session we would like to pay attention to interpretation and classification of prehistoric sites by investigating spatial relationships between different archaeological sites and the landscape. Different types of survey methods and non-invasive technologies provide differing sets of data in regard to the extension, inner structure or distribution of sites etc. Furthermore, varying objective, dimensions and scales of such surveys may often result in barely comparable results. The session focuses on all aspects of non-destructive micro-regional research with topographic approach from the Neolithic to the Iron Age. The main discussed questions are: how to define micro-region? What are the time and methodological challenges of micro-regional research? How to compare micro-regional research with various levels of survey-ability, scale and methodological approach? This session invites a broad range of theme- and methodologically oriented contributions focusing on various aspects of the research process, such as data capture, data management, visualisation, data processing and good practice. We particularly invite novel papers discussing theoretical and methodological challenges of micro-regional research, site diagnostics and surveys in different environments.
