The Field Jaeger Battalions were an integral part of the Austro-Hungarian Army in the World War 1. The origin of these special units in the Habsburg Army dates back to the mid-18th century. This was caused by the tactical-strategic changes on the battlefield, where not only the quantity, but also the quality of the military units themselves determined the outcome. The Field Jaeger Battalions were formed into elite rifle units of the Habsburg Army over the decades. In the early days, men with experience in the forest terrain who knew how to handle a firearm adequately were drafted into these units. With numerous military and organisational changes in the Habsburg Army, the jaegers became an integral part of the armed forces, whose supplementary districts were located in the territory inhabited by Slovaks. These “Slovak” battalions of field jaegers naturally participated in the formation of the Army, in its successes and defeats, and also influenced the cultural, social, political and architectural character of the garrison town. The aim of the study therefore is, on the basis of contemporary military schematics of the Austrian and later Austro-Hungarian Army, to identify and briefly characterize those Field Jaeger Battalions in charge of the replenishment district or one of the organizational components (warehouse, headquarters) on the territory of North-eastern Hungary until 1914.

Interpretation of prehistoric human representations, portrayal of human qualities or of the human body itself has long been at the core of archaeological research. Clay statuettes of the Bronze Age are a specific type of source to decode and reconstruct clothing and jewellery fashion. New discoveries and recent studies allow a more accurate dating of these objects into the Late – Final Bronze Age (BD–HB). Most of the figurines presented in this paper were found during archaeological surveys, what makes both the exact location and dating considerably certain. A small part of the collection has long been known to archaeologists, current analysis might shed new light on both their interpretation and dating.

During the last 15 years, three Middle Palaeolithic open-air sites were excavated in the Cserhát Mountains (Northern Hungary), lying at the northern periphery of the Great Hungarian Plain. The context was similar at each locality: the lithics were excavated from loess-like reddish or yellowish sediment from a depth of 50 – 100 cm beneath of the recent surface level. Bifacial worked leaf-shaped points and knives associated with side scrapers and end scrapers made on flakes were found at all sites but in different ratio. For the time being, the chronology of the assemblages is not clear enough, but the typological and technological attributes of the assemblages show few if any Upper Palaeolithic traits. In the present paper, the characteristics of the bifacial manufactured and leaf-shaped implements from the sites will be compared with an emphasis on their raw material types.
