Ibolya M. Nepper—Márta Sz. Máthé THE ARCHEOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF THE MUSEUMS IN HAJDÚ-BIHAR ' COUNTY IN THE YEARS 1977—1980 (A SURVEY OF FINDS) The survey of finds published in this paper testifies to the intensive archeological acivity of the Déri Museum in Debrecen. During the surveyed period of time only one archeologist worked in the „Hajdúsági Museum" in Hajdúböszörmény but not the whole period. Any archeological co-worker did not work in the „Bihari Museum" in Berettyóújfalu. But the archeologists of the Déri Museum managed the excavations and also the rescue excavations on the collecting territory of this museum, as well. During the last four years excavations ware carried out at thirty find-spots. Of them the works done within the common programme of the Archeological Institutes of the Soviet and Hungarian Academies of Science in Berettyóújfalu—Herpály—Földvár halom. Within the programme of the „tell-investigations" in the Great Hungarian Plain the excavations in Berettyóújfalu—Herpály—Déli település, Berettyóújfalu— Szilhalom and Szentpéterszeg—Körtvélyes could be mentioned. Large-scale excavation continued in the find-spot Püspökladány—Eperjesvölgy. As a result of this altogether 301 graves from the 10—11. centuries were up with finds of outstanding significance. Finds of settlements and cemetery from the period of the Roman Emperors and the Avar age respectively were successfully uncovered in the find-spots Hajdúszoboszló—Köztemető, Nádudvar—Pecsenyebáránytelep and Tetétlen—Baromfi törzstelep. As regards the investigations of the age of the Arpads two find-spots must be emphasized, Hajdúböszörmény—Szabadhajdú—Kuruc—Kisfaludi utcák and Hajdúböszörmény—Téglagyár környéke. Here remarkable finds of a village settled in the 12nd century — presumably Böszörmény, the village of the Ismaelites — were uncovered. 115
