F. KOVÁCS PÉTER - HOPPÁL KRISZTINA - MASEK ZSÓFIA - HORVÁTH ESZTER - BENDŐ ZSOLT - VÁCZI TAMÁS: ELŐZETES JELENTÉS TISZAPÜSPÖKI-FEHÉR-TÓ PART GEPIDA TEMETŐ ÉS SZARMATA TELEPRÉSZLET FELTÁRÁSÁRÓL Péter F. Kovács-Krisztina Hoppál-Zsófia Masek- Eszter Horváth-Zsolt Bendő-Tamás Váczi Preliminary Report on the Gépid cemetery and Sarma- tian settlement section from Tiszapüspöki-Fehér-tó part A Sarmatian settlement section (2ncMth century AD) and a total number of ninety-five graves (dated to the late 5th-early 6th century) were unearthed in the vicinity of Tiszapüspöki (Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County) during the excavations between June and August 2015. Like many other settlements and cemeteries in the Great Hungarian Plain, Tiszapüspöki- Fehér-tó part 18th site also lies along a major river, namely the Tisza. While in the Sarmatian settlement section storage pits, a well and a trench were unearthed, in spite of the extensive plunder, the Gépid cemetery can be regarded as considerably rich of metal finds. Bronze belt buckles, sword belt buckles, bronze rivets and a relatively great amount of weapons were discovered. However, only three deceased were attired with pairs of brooches. Moreover, archaeometric nvestigation of the polychrome gold ornament from grave 90/92 applying optical microscopes, scanning electron microscope and Raman spectroscope was also conducted. The function of this fine metalwork has been a matter of debate since it had been unearthed. Technological analysis by Eszter Horváth, Zsolt Bendő and Tamás Váczi revealed that this fine metalwork is a loose part of a belt buckle. The buckle itself must have been fallen prey to looting, but as some rusted flecks observed on the surface of the cellwork imply it might have been made of iron. After a basic conservation process all discoveries will undergo multidisciplinary analyses conducted by János Damjanich Museum, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Archaeometallurgical Research Group of Miskolc University and Dept, of Archaeometry and Archaeological Methodology, Dept, of Petrology and Geochemistry, Dept, of Mineralogy, Eötvös Loránd University, while human remains will be observed by Dept, of Biological Anthropology, Eötvös Loránd University.
