A bridge over the past: Prehistoric settlement traces, a Roman cemetery, and a structure connecting periods on the Danube bank : New results of the archaeological excavation connected to the Graphisoft Park extension project

Abstract

As archaeologists of the Budapest History Museum, we conducted a rescue excavation connected to the Graphisoft Park extension project between September and mid-December in 2019, and from the end of March to mid-August in 2020, by the Danube in Óbuda (Old Buda), near Aquincum, in District 3 of Budapest. The excavation uncovered parts of a complex, multi-period, and, in some places, multi-layer site. Although it had been known and researched for a long time, the site still had many exciting, unforeseen surprises, which we briefly present here.
