Personal mobility and cultural transfer have been at the core of the archaeological research on Migration Period funerary assemblages since the 19th century. In the last few decades, a combination of progress in archaeological dating renewed theoretical approaches and consistent incorporation of archaeometrical and archaeobiological data has brought forward a much more accurate picture of the channels and players favouring the dissemination of manufactures, technologies and aesthetic tastes. However, regarding the latter, a substantial part of the scholarly contributions has focused its attention on the short-term perspective, thus privileging explanations based on historical events. This paper is an endeavour to explore the dissemination of fashion elements of Central and Eastern European origin in the late Roman West combining a short- and mid-term approach to the cemetery evidence with the examination of spatial and contextual data. The results show that the‘eastern fashions’ in the West had an autonomous evolution, deriving from the connections between production centres, distribution channels and personal networks as well as from the contacts with late Roman aesthetic tastes and values. It is argued that the exposure to a strong ‘mainstream’ culture is indeed not only a convincing explanation for the quick changes undergone by ‘eastern’ fashion in terms of production, accumulation and use of several fashion items, but also the main reason of its rather ephemeral character. The interaction between ‘Roman’ and ‘eastern’ fashions, it seems, developed according to a trickle-down model, which showed the Roman values having a noticeably dominant position. The peripheral position of the ‘easter’ fashions in the 5th century West is better mirrored by its general absence, or short-livedness, in cultural central places.

The pellet bells from 15 graves of the Avar cemeteries Komárno IV, VIII and IX were examined for their position in the graves, their types, their acoustic and psychoacoustic parameters and their metallurgical compositions within the framework of the research project ‘Metallic Idiophones between 800 BC and 800 AD in Central Europe’. Based on the results, assumptions could be made about their functions. Burials with pellet bells are only a minority among all the total amount of burials of all three cemeteries together and date from the middle Avar period II onwards. Only five graves belonged to children. These pellet bells can be interpreted as amulets and rather silent signal instruments, fixed on the clothes of the persons. The other ten graves belonged to horsemen and their horses. These pellet bells were part of the horse harness and served as jewellery, warning signal instrument and amulet. Most of the pellet bells were hammered of bronze sheet, and followed by those cast in bronze. But there are also pellet bells hammered of iron, copper and brass sheet. Their main frequencies could be determined between 1.5 – 4.5 kHz. Acoustic and psychoacoustic parameters can help to identify also similarities and differences between the objects and to get an idea of the actual sound. Especially loudness and level can also be used to draw conclusions about the use of the objects. A video with the original sounds of the pellet bells was created and loaded up on the internet platform Youtube: ‘Pellet Bells from the Avar Period in Komárno’.
