Fodor László: A Dobó István Vármúzeum régészeti gyűjteményének ötven éve

szeti gyűjteményünk gyarapítása és kiállításokon való bemutatása a jelen és a jövő régészeinek feladata lesz, legalább annyi lelkesedéssel mint elődeink a „hőskorban" végezték, és ahogy mi is végezni igyekeztünk.

László Fodor Fifty Years of the István Dobó Castle Museum's Archaeological Collection The number of artefacts excavated and the accompanying research findings have increased significantly in all of the archaeological periods over the last fifty years. As early as the 1950s one sees major excavations being undertaken, like those led by Nándor Kalicz and Pál Patay in Tarnabod in 1955, Frigyes Kőszegi in Füzesabony-Pusztaszikszó in 1959, and Nándor Kalicz in Tarnaméra in 1959, at which Copper and Bronze Age finds were uncovered. The person most responsible for the increase in prehistoric archaeological finds during the course of the 1960s and 1970s was János Győző Szabó. One should make special mention of the Copper Age investigations that went on at Tenk-Hevesi in 1965. Even by that time the prehistorical collection showed a preponderance of Bronze Age finds. From the mid-1990s the excavations accompanying some major building projects led to some fundamental changes in the archaeological methods used. There were a whole series of investigations going on into large swathes of land, which resulted in the number of prehistoric objects in the store multiplying. It is still the Bronze Age finds that predominate in the prehistoric collection, something due partly to the excavations at Ludas-Varjú dűlő, which was one of the most extensive excavations going on in Hungary in 2001-2002, and which led to a number of finds entering the museum. It was from these that an exhibition was also opened in Detk in 2005. The collection is also made up of a considerable number of Neolithic finds, which have over the course of the last one and a half 335
