The author describes osseous materials obtained in terms of rescue excavations, at site 12 in Kolonia Depultycze Nowe, Lubelskie province, conducted in 2006 by Andrzej Bronicki from Chelm Museum. An investigated feature belonged to the people of the Globular Amphora culture. An anatomical order of poorly preserved bones in the grave-pit was strongly disturbed. The grave contained a burial of an adult man at the age of about 30-40 years. The intravital body height of the individual under study, reconstructed according to K. Pearson' technique was estimated on about 169 cm.

NOVÉ NÁLEZY STAROMAĎARSKÝCH HROBOV V LUŽIANKACH

The northern periphery of occurrence of conquering Hungarian burials represents an important area of investigation of conquering Hungarian finds from the Early Middle Ages. Four burials discovered in Lužianky, Pri majeri site, belong to the group of finds with unmistakeable character of material culture and specific burial rite. The aim of the article is a multidisciplinary analysis of the burials in question. It includes spectrometry, whose goal is detection of composition of metal artefacts discovered in those burials. Remains of human individuals underwent anthropological analysis, animal bones were studied by means of archaeozoological analyses. Plant remains from the burials, i. e. remains of wooden artefacts, were analysed by archaeobotanical analysis. Last but not least, the relevant burials were studied from the aspect of archaeology, i. e. by means of analysis of material culture and burial rite.

Following paper is focused on burials and burial customs of the Linear Pottery culture and Želiezovce group in the southwestern Slovakia. The region of Moravia, Lower Austria, Burgenland, Transdanubia and part of Germany came into the center of interest as well. Collected units are critically analyzed and followed by evaluation of burial customs of the Linear Pottery culture and Želiezovce group. The evaluation comprehensively summarizes the results of the analysis in the Middle Danube region. These outputs are compared with the results of previous researches and finally interpreted.

The osteoarchaeological study analyses and attempts to interpret an unusual find from an Early Bronze Age settlement burial in Zbehy (Nitra district, Slovakia). An artefact made of hollow bone shafts of birds and a hare was discovered on the face of a female aged 35–45 years. The woman probably suffered from chronic rhinosinusitis and severe dental problems, implying that the artefact may have served as a face mask. Due to the lack of archaeological analogies, the interpretation of the function of the artefact from Zbehy remains open for discussion.

In 2018 the Archaeological Institute of the Eötvös Loránd University and the Archaeological Heritage Protection Directorate of the Hungarian National Museum carried out excavations at Süttő-Sáncföldek (North Transdanubia, Hungary) within the framework of the Interreg DTP Iron Danube Project. The site is located near to the prehistoric multiperiod fortified settlement of Süttő-Nagysánctető and it has already been known of two Early Iron Age cemeteries. Recent fieldwork has unearthed an Early Bronze Age feature, among others, which provided evidence of EBA settlement on the site. Although previous research by Éva Vadász and Gábor Vékony also discovered some EBA material from the area in the 1980’s, that has remained unmentioned and unpublished. This paper presents the EBA findings of Süttő-Sáncföldek and three other contemporary sites (Süttő-Tatai úti dűlő II, Lábatlan-Hosszúföldek, Lábatlan-Rózsa F. utca) in the region, which were found in the second half of the 20th century. The data provided here outline a dense network of EBA sites around Süttő, which consists of a possible fortified settlement, three open settlements and a burial ground. The findings represent the material culture of the Makó-Kosihy-Čaka complex in North Transdanubia, but connections to South Transdanubia and to the pottery traditions of the Moravian Corded Ware culture can also be detected.

The article presents data concerning a grave´s content, which was retrieved in 1968. The grave pit was looming in a gravel pit wall. The grave belongs to the necropolis in which 82 burials were revealed during two preceding excavating seasons. In 23 of them riders were buried together with their horses. The grave 1/68 was one of them, but it was partially damaged by gravel mining and hence the grave pit shape and size could not be found. The grave was probably plundered as it was discovered during its emptying. Skeletons were preserved only in fragments. The grave orientation could not be fixed thoroughly. Presumably it was similar to that of other graves at the necropolis, i. e. approximately in the E – W or ESE – WNW direction. In addition to the fragments of skeletons, the grave pit included several finds. The most significant of them are three cast openwork bronze phaleras with zoomorphic decoration motif of raptor heads arranged to swastika. For these artefacts the term “phaleras of Žitavská Tôň” has been suggested. They are very much similar to the openwork circular ornaments, which use to be part of female grave goods. The both artefact categories can be dated into the 8th century. Other grave artefacts (engraved bosses, stirrup, bridle bit, buckle, spear, ceramic vessel) cannot be used for dating. The grave assemblage presented was a part of the necropolis, at which the deceased ranked to a superordinate social group were buried. In spite of remarkable secondary interventions into the graves during their plundering the necropolis in Radvaň nad Dunajom, part Žitava I offered extraordinary sumptuous archaeological monuments, such as sets of belt mounts or horse harness ornaments first of all. Gilded bronze artefacts were found in many graves. The luxurious artefacts comprised also iron phaleras inlaid with gilded copper plate. With its wealthy spectrum of types and shapes of artefacts, the necropolis ranks among significant sites of the Avar Khaganate period with their concentration on the northern bank of the Danube near Komárno.

LENGYELSKÁ KUTURA VE STŘELICKÉ KOTLINĚ

EN
The article discusses various matters associated with the Lengyel settlement in the Střelická kotlina (Střelice Basin). Its material culture is analysed, particularly in terms of ceramics, of chipped, polished and other stone production, and zoo-archaeological finds. The pottery is analysed based on the Numerical code of the Moravian painted pottery and its results are used for understanding the relative chronology of particular sites as well as for understanding the inhabitation of the Střelice Basin during the Lengyel culture. Local materials were largely used for the manufacture of chipped- and polished-stone tools. The Střelice Basin was a part of a broader region (Brno-city and surroundings) where the mentioned local raw materials were worked and sequent distributed. Imported materials prove transport of the particular raw materials from the Holy Cross Mountains, the Kraków-Częstochowa highland in Lesser Poland and with the Zemplín region, Slovakia/Hungary. Both polished- and chipped stone industry are analysed in terms of raw material and typology. The category “other stone industry” including all other stone items is analysed in terms of raw material and its expected function. Special attention is devoted to analysis of an individual buried in a storage pit in the Střelice, in Prostřední trať location. Here, the attention is dedicated to physic anthropology, namely morphometric and morphoscopic judgement of the skeletal remains and analysis of dental micro abrasion. Zoo-archaeological analyses confirm similar characteristics of the composition faunal skeletal remains with other contemporary Lengyel sites. Presence of bones from the wild animals is characteristic for investigated period. The study further explores settlement strategies, general characteristics of the material culture of the Lengyel culture in the Střelice Basin, and settlement in relation to a relative chronology. The Střelice Basin was chiefly inhabited in phases Ib and II b of the Moravian painted pottery/East-Austrian – Moravian group. The location of sites is oriented on periphery of the Střelice Basin. All Lengyel settlement sites are oriented to proximity of terrain slopes.
