(6)00-4500 ВС) (4500-2700 ВС) (2700/2500-800 ВС) Twelve inhumation burials formed a separate cluster on the north-western fringes of the Roman cemetery investigated by Éva Maróti and Katalin Ottományi, which extended along both sides of the M1 Motorway in an area called Malom-dűlő near Páty. Most were dug much deeper than the late Roman graves and they could also be distinguished by their west to east orientation. The grave goods from these burials included moss green glass vessels, round silver buckles typical for the Hun period and bone combs with rounded back, which did not occur in the burials of the late Roman cemetery. None of the graves yielded brooches, although one female burial had two silver pins on the shoulder. The burial rite and the grave goods indicate that these burials can be dated to the earlier 5th century. A stray find of a large cicada brooch and a bone comb decorated with animal figures recovered from one of the settlement’s pits indicate that a mixed Germanic-Alan group settled here at the turn of the 4th/5th centuries. A solitary female burial at Páty A few early Roman pits, two graves containing the burials of war- 2. rior and their horses, and four ЯШ . ... inhumation graves were founc among the inurned burials of the Middle Bronze Age cemetery on the eastern bank of the Füzes Stream in an area known as Alsó-Hegy-alja in 2004 during the excavation directed by Tamás Repiszky. One of the inhumation graves contained a west to east oriented female burial. The floor of the grave pit was covered with stones. The woman was laid to rest wearing a bead necklace. A bronze dress pin lay on her chest and a bone comb with rounded back was placed by her hand. It seems likely that she wore a garment fastened in front with a pin or brooch. She was interred sometime in the earlier 5th century. • Katalin Ottományi 1. Silver buckles of the Hun period 2. Bone comb decorated with ring and dot motifs 3. Silver dress pins 4.
