The archaeological record thus preserves evidence of contacts with diverse regions, whose vestiges can be found on settlements and in the cemeteries (grave inventories) as well. The earliest farmers arrived in the Carpathian Basin from southeastern Europe ca. 6000–5800 BCE and they culturally belonged to the Körös-Çris (east) and Starčevo (west) archaeological formations [1, 2, 3, 4]. They probably encountered some hunter-gatherer groups in the Carpathian Basin, whose archaeological traces are still scarce [5], and bioarchaeological remains are almost unknown from Hungary. The farmer communities east (Alföld) and west (Transdanubia) of the Danube River developed in parallel, giving rise around 5600/5400 BCE to a number of cultural groups of the Linearband Ceramic (LBK) culture [6, 7, 8]. -

Hungarian Archaeology E-Journal • 2019 Autumn
HUNGARIAN ARCHAEOLOGY E-JOURNAL • 2019 AUTUMN www.hungarianarchaeology.hu INTERACTION BETWEEN LANDSCAPES AND COMMUNITIES IN THE NEOLITHIC: MODELING SOCIOECOLOGICAL CHANGES IN NORTHEAST-HUNGARY BETWEEN 6000–4500 BC András Füzesi Hungarian Archaeology Vol. 8 (2019), Issue 3, pp. 1–11, https://doi.org/10.36338/ha.2019.3.1 During the millennia, the relationship of man and environment was constantly transformed. Due to sedentary lifestyle and food production, the impact of human communities on the environment was multiplied exponen- tially since the Neolithic period. This activity created a new phenomenon, the cultural landscape, which was, however, not simply a product of human agency, but became an „independent” agent, affecting its creator. The complexity of this relationship can be recognized all the time, not only in our everyday lives—thinking for example, on the global economic and social consequences of climate change—but also in archaeological assemblages. The project outlined in this paper explores the impact of Neolithic communities in Northeast- ern Hungary on the landscape. It focuses on three research themes—settlement (settlement network), econ- omy (land-use) and communication (interactions among communities)—covering different aspects of the same problem: the interaction and mutual transformation of human communities and landscapes. Landscape archaeology has moved to the forefront of the international and Hungarian research as well, owing its success to two trends. First, environmental awareness and protection of the environment are increasingly appreciated globally, turning both public opinion and experts towards this topic. Second, this field of study allows a great deal of latitude for interdisciplinarity, as it needs cooperation between natural and life sciences and humanities (MÜLLER, 2018). -
Cultic Finds from the Middle Copper Age of Western Hungary
CULTIC FINDS FROM THE MIDDLE COPPER AGE OF WESTERN HUNGARY- CONNECTIONS WITH SOUTH EAST EUROPE Eszter Banffy Until recently prehistoric objects considered to be cultic ones were mostly interpreted in two different ways: using the typological method on archaeological material, or on the basis of speculative anthropology, working from recent ethnographic parallels or from parallels to ancient religions. In recent times the analysis of the pure archaeological context provides a third method of increasing popularity. It is in fact very important to study to what extent archaeology can help to solve problems of the history of art and religions, that is, to what extent archaeology can be a source of the history of religions (Bimffy, in print). To apply the method of contextual study to the Carpathian Basin and South East Europe, a collection of human figurines with well-observed contexts, as well as anthropomorphic vessels, house models and other finds having a cultic character is in progress (Banffy 1986). Hopefully this work will provide useful data for a better knowledge concerning N eo lithic and Cha1colithic cultural groups that lived in the study area (Fig. 7). Nevertheless, even in this region there are periods where the above-mentioned three models could be used with difficulty, for no cultic finds have COJ,l1e to light yet. Such a period is the Early and Middle Copper Age of the Western Carpathian Basin, i.e. Transdanubia. The Late Neolithic of this area, that is the Lengyel Culture is fairly well researched. It is a close relative of the Moravian Painted Ware found in Lower Austria and Czechoslovakia; not only its ceramics, but its whole material culture and way oflife fit the South East European Painted Pottery group very well. -
Bronze Age Tell Communities in Context: an Exploration Into Culture
Bronze Age Tell Kienlin This study challenges current modelling of Bronze Age tell communities in the Carpathian Basin in terms of the evolution of functionally-differentiated, hierarchical or ‘proto-urban’ society Communities in Context under the influence of Mediterranean palatial centres. It is argued that the narrative strategies employed in mainstream theorising of the ‘Bronze Age’ in terms of inevitable social ‘progress’ sets up an artificial dichotomy with earlier Neolithic groups. The result is a reductionist vision An exploration into culture, society, of the Bronze Age past which denies continuity evident in many aspects of life and reduces our understanding of European Bronze Age communities to some weak reflection of foreign-derived and the study of social types – be they notorious Hawaiian chiefdoms or Mycenaean palatial rule. In order to justify this view, this study looks broadly in two directions: temporal and spatial. First, it is asked European prehistory – Part 1 how Late Neolithic tell sites of the Carpathian Basin compare to Bronze Age ones, and if we are entitled to assume structural difference or rather ‘progress’ between both epochs. Second, it is examined if a Mediterranean ‘centre’ in any way can contribute to our understanding of Bronze Age tell communities on the ‘periphery’. It is argued that current Neo-Diffusionism has us essentialise from much richer and diverse evidence of past social and cultural realities. Tobias L. Kienlin Instead, archaeology is called on to contribute to an understanding of the historically specific expressions of the human condition and human agency, not to reduce past lives to abstract stages on the teleological ladder of social evolution. -

(Ne Hungary). Preliminary Results of the Investigations
FOLIA QUATERNARIA 84, KRAKÓW 2016, 99–122 DOI: 10.4467/21995923FQ.16.004.5995 PL ISSN 0015-573X POLGÁR-BOSNYÁKDOMB, A LATE NEOLITHIC TELL- LIKE SETTLEMENT ON POLGÁR ISLAND (NE HUNGARY). PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATIONS Pál Raczky, Alexandra Anders A u t h o r s’ a d d r e s s e s: Eötvös Loránd University, Institute of Archaeological Sciences, 4/B Múzeum körút, 1088 Budapest, Hungary, e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract. In this study, we summarise the preliminary results of thirty years of investigations at the Polgár-Bosnyákdomb site. The significance of the site located on the one-time bank of the Tisza River is that it lies no more than 5 km away from the well-known Polgár-Csőszhalom settlement com- plex. One of our goals was to investigate the relation between the settlements in the Polgár Island micro-region and to identify the similarities and differences between them. It is quite obvious that with its estimated 70 hectares large extent, Polgár-Csőszhalom was a dominant settlement complex in this landscape during the earlier fifth millennium, while the Bosnyákdomb settlement, represented an entirely different scale with its 8 hectares and had a different role during this period. The AMS dates provide convincing evidence that the two settlements had been occupied simultaneously during one period of their lives. Despite their spatial proximity and chronological contemporaneity, the two settlements had a differing structural layout. Although both had a prominent stratified settlement mound that was separated from the single-layer settlement part by a ditch, the system of the ditches, their structure and, presumably, their social use differed substantially. -

The Valnerina Geological Park
THE VALNERINA GEOLOGICAL PARK A guide to the exploration Notes: Stratigraphy, Tectonics, Geomorphology, Quaternary Geology, Georesources. The Umbria - Marche Apennines, for stratigraphic and tectonic characters, is one of the most studied and visited regions by geologists of all world. Schools and universities bring their students for tracking exercises or follow guided, using this area as a real gym. The Valnerina is an area of particular value, which collects a multiplicity of sites of scientific interest, representative of the main topics of geology, all fairly easy to reach, thanks to the extension of the network of roads and trails. A territory that for these reasons fully deserves the connotation of geological park. In this guide, we provide a brief description of the area and of the very interesting sites (geosites), organized into 10 thematic itineraries. The guide is addressed to teachers who want to lead their students to explore this territory, using it as an open-air laboratory. At the same time, the guide can be used by geologists and geology enthusiasts, as the basis for the organization of geotourist excursions. The visit will enrich to the historical-cultural heritage and natural beauty of this region and the excellent quality of the reception. The "reading tips" provided for each theme, and the bibliography, placed at the end of the volume, can compensate for the schematic treatise due to scarcity of space.
