178 E. Gáll The same method was used towards the edges of the churchyard, but here the cemetery became one layered, therefore we could decide based only on the orientation. As the material culture became unified, it does not provide grounds for a more exact chronological analysis.

Grave groups and chronological horizons in the edge of the churcyhards Based on these two tables the following conclusions can be drawn: 1. All the known, excavated parts, of the cemetery were used simultaneously. 2. Approximately, the same amount of graves belong to burial horizons I and II, but the number of graves in burial horizon III is much smaller. 3. On the edges of the cemetery the number of graves in horizon I is smaller than in horizon II, which may indicate that the churchyard expanded to some extent, but the number of graves belonging to burial horizon III is even smaller. 4. Based on the superpositions, the finds and the location, the orientation and the depths of the graves, horizon I can be dated to 1090-1140, horizon II to 1140-1190 and the graves of horizon III to 1190-1220. 13.1.2. The case of Cluj-Napoca-Mänästur: one or two churchyards? (Pi. 7-8) As I have already mentioned, during the excavation in the Chij-Napoca-Mändsfur, only cemetery sections were documented due to the wrong research strategy. The most important characteristic of churchyard cemeteries, i. e. the layers of graves due to the graves dug on top of one another (big concentration of the graves), can be observed in two places of the site in Cluj-Mdnasiwr .177 Therefore one can assume two cemeteries existing at the same time as the finds are dated to the same era in both places. The first cluster of graves, in which a few skeletons were disturbed during the construction of the round church in the 12th century, was found near the present day church. The graves were dug on top of one another in many cases. The earliest coin dating the cluster is the H22 coin of King Ladislaus I (Grave 41), but a coin of Béla II was also found here. 177 Last analysis, with similarly results: Ritoók 2012,235-252.
