electric) was checked later by boring. Essential Conclusions concerning the applicability of the individual methods can be drawn from a comparison of the Results. Excavation was carried out on three separated parts of the site during 1989. Eleven pits and daubconstruction came from the Sarmatian period while one pit-house, 7 pits, 2 kilns and an open-air fireplace from the Árpád Period were excavated. Jerem E., Kiss Zs., Pattantyús-Á. M., Varga A.: The combined use of archaeometric methods preceding the Excavation of archaeological sites = In S. Bökönyi ed.: Cultural and Landscape Changes in South-East Hungary, I., Reports on the Gyomaendrőd Project, Archaeolingua, Budapest (1992) 61-98. Ten archaeologically promising sites including both burial mounds and settlement sites were surveyed before Excavation using several archaeometrical methods within the framework of Microregion Research Project carried out on the Great Hungarian Plain. The authors discuss the factors considered in the selection of the excavated area at the beginning of This paper. The process of fieldwork methods were areal reconnaissance, map analysis, palaeohydrographic reconstruction, surface distribution of artifacts, magnetic survey, subsurface site and Soil testing and finally test excavations. The comparison of the Results of These survey methods are described in details concerning every separate sites and Results are discussed. Authors conclude that only multiple data sources can reveal an accurate as possible conceived image of the evolving landscape and changing environmental conditions throughout historical times.

Preliminary magnetic and resistivity measurements were carried out at the Roman settlement site near Babarc (South-Hungary) in 1989 in order to delineate the location of the villa rustica and other built up area. On the basis of Results of These relatively sparse measurements only the boundary of the built up area could be delineated, for more detailed information about This site a much higher density of measurements with a higher resolution was needed which was executed in the next year by the German group of Archaeologische Denkmalpflege in Bayern with the lead of Mr. Helmut Becker using a high resolution caesium magnetometer. Pattantyús-А. M.: Ground Penetrating Radar prospecting at archaeological sites = Annales Geophysicae, Part I., Suppl.I, vol.12 (1994) 135. Application of GPR is already a widespread method for solving shallow geophysical problems nowadays. In prospecting archaeological sites GPR can also be an effective method as it has been proved in several cases. This paper shows some selected case histories where GPR was applied to prospection of several types of archaeological targets. Ground penetrating radar instrument we used is the pulse EKKO IV, manufactured by Sensors and Softwares Inc. (Canada). Applied frequency usually was 100 Mhz and/or 200 Mhz.
