Pilismarót-Basaharc is a key site of the transition between the Early and the Late Iron Age, as well as of early Celtic presence in the Carpathian Basin. This study offers a brief overview of the site’s archaeological research and the employed excavation methods, followed by a description and discussion of the typical burial rites and the most frequent grave good types through five selected burials, with a special focus on amber, coral and glass beads, and on the origins and distribution of glass amphora beads in particular. The most distinctive artefact types of the Late Hallstatt and Early La Tène cultures attested at Pilismarót are reviewed and discussed, in particular Čurug-type and Early La Tène brooches. In addition to the archaeological finds, the assessment of the human remains was also undertaken. The broad picture emerging from the assessment of the finds is that the archaeological heritage of the Iron Age community which interred its dead at Pilismarót reflects both local traditions and strong Balkanic connections, alongside a pronounced process of early latènisation.
