Sprincz and C. W. Beck. The amber-beads at Százhalombatta were examined by Tamás Gál. From samples in diamond cell, and in pastille, rubbing with KBr made infrared-spectra, with Fourier transformation infraredspectrometry process. The applied apparatus was FTIR system of NICOLET-710 type, with MCT-B detector. The FTIR spectra made with 4cm"

1 wavelength disintegration, with 200 scan sign-average, applied HappGenzel apodization. Assessment of FTIR-spectras: The composition of 1. and 2. samples are similar: mixture of inorganic silicates and carbonates. The spectra of sample 1. and 2. can seen on the picture 1. The spectrum of 1. sample on the environment 1600 cm-1-3600 cm-1 observable „noise" happened wetness of air. The 3. sample is mixture of organic substances, the spectrum can see on the picture 2. The computer-comparison of the 3. sample with other resin-spectra can be seen on the picture 3., on the picture 4. and 5. with classical amber spectra. In every case we can see similarity, but it does not mean that they are the same material. So, from the infrared-spectra we can not show the Baltic origin of the amber at Százhalombatta (probably shattered the spectra the conservation, too). Proved that the Amber was a great value in this time: only a few people could allow themselves to have luxury-jewel. But these people used to live close to nature: they knew where amber or copal resin quarries were in their territory, if it were any. The question is: why Baltic origin amber abounds in the Carpath in-basin? Our Bronze Age's cultures are
