Abstract The cemeteries in front of the southern wall of the fortress of Fenékpuszta testify that the late Roman cemeteries opened in the middle of the 4th century went out of use around the middle of the 5th century at the latest. This can be associated either with the passing of the first province of Pannónia to the Huns or, which is more likely, with the appearance of the east Goths. There was a burial place right in front of the fortress wall in around the middle of the 4 th century. It cannot be decided unambiguously because of the lack of annexes almost exclusively typical of the 5 th and the first part of the 6 th centuries, that the residua of the late antique population had their burial places here continuously or only after the Easter Goths had left they invaded the fortress again and buried their dead in front of the southern wall. In the graves in the area between D4 and D5 towers we can count on the emergence of some objects of the early Keszthely culture before the advent of the Avar conquest. These burials are clearly the tombs of the successors of the surviving antique population. Their number is negligible, in the area between the tower D4 and the south-west corner- tower compared to the number of burials dated back to the last third of the 6 th and the first third of the 7 th centuries, so in addition to the sparse continuity of the late Roman population new immigrants must be expected after 568. These were late antique communities escaping partially from the Slavs from the South and South-west to this place. Their material culture was practically the same as that of the local population; there were different Germanic groups who joined the new lords of the Carpathian basin hoping for a large bounty from the Avars’ military operations. Moreover, the emergence of certain
