Abstract

This study presents the archaeological fieldwork carried out by the Rippl-Rónai Museum between 2018-2019. They included plan excavations, prevention excavations and ones performed during observation. Our biggest excavations were related to the expansion of road 67 into a 2x2 lane. Dur-ing the archaeological works we discovered phenomena, cem-eteries and settlements from the Neolithic to the Early Modern Age. Prehistoric Age: Late Neolithic quadruple rondel was dis-covered in Gamás-Vadépusztai mező site No. 2. Roman Age: Sites mainly from the Late Imperial Period (3-4. centuries) are to be mentioned: Gamás-Belső tanya, Mernye-Lótilos 1 és Balatonszentgyörgy-Kenderföldek. Migration Period: Two intact male graves with weaponry were found in a Lombard cemetery fraction outside Kaposfüred. The excavations of the Zamárdi Avar Age cemetery continued, and a new 8-9. c. Avar cem-etery was discovered at Gamás. Middle Ages-Early Modern Age: Plan excavations took place in the Mediaeval Mindszent Pauline Monastery in Balatonszemes and the Premonstraten-sian Provostship in Bárdudvarnok. Excavations of churches from the Árpád Age and the Middle Ages in Iharosberény and Karád. Mementos of the fight against the Ottomans: ramparts and ditches built around the Mediaeval church in Marótpuszta. At long last, we had an opportunity for a partial exploration of the Turkish bath in central Törökkoppány. The most significant of all excavations along Route 67, among a number of Árpád Age and Mediaeval rural settlements was of a Mediaeval es-tate centre near Vadépuszta.

Settlement research of the Late Copper Age Baden complex in Hungary New evidence from the past two decades

“…The sites were occupied for varying lengths of time, but overall, they span the period from Balaton-Lasinja/Furchenstich through Boleráz to Late Baden (up to the appearance of Kostolác), indicating that these sites do not represent a separate chronological phase or a regional group. At the same time, they share numerous similarities with the settlements found elsewhere along the lake's southern shoreline such as Fonyód-Vasúti-dűlő Sites 1, 2 and 3, Fonyód-Bézseny-puszta, Fonyód-Fehér-bézseny and Fonyód-Tüskés, excavated by Krisztina Somogyi and Zsolt Gallina (Honti et al, 2004;Honti et al, 2007, pp. 23-26, 35-42).…”

From tea leaves to leaf-shaped tools. Studies in honour of Zsolt Mester on his sixtieth birthday

“…It seems that they had meaning only within a narrow socio-cultural environment. As a consequence, we can consider them more a status good, a symbol of a social position, than a prestige good within this circle (Siklósi, 2004).…”

“…If it came to light, it would provide conclusive evidence for the incontestable interaction and maintenance of relations between the two communities. Is there any chance of it ever being found, or is it an illusion to hope for its discovery (Horváth, 2002(Horváth, , 2004(Horváth, , 2010?…”
