Budapest, 2003 The orientation of the eight inhumation graves was diverse. Only a child and a baby lay in graves with the same orientation (Fig. 1: 10, 11). Five of the deceased were adults, 1 was a small child, and 2 were older children (infans Til), while one was a new-born baby (foetus). They were not given grave goods (Fig. T. 10, 12) or else the grave goods were very poor (a lamp: 11, a pot: 13, a bronze coin: 14, tiny glass beads: 15). It is not possible to provide an exact date until the entire find material is analyzed. Only grave shaft no. 15 was dug into the material of an earlier grave with scattered ashes. The dislocation, secondary utilisation and destruction of the tombstones from the cemetery already started in the Roman period (Fig. T. 9). Often in the AD 4

th centuries new sarcophagi were constructed from the originally finely finished and ornamented stone slabs of former graves (HABLE-MÁRTON 2000, 20-36). Even worse, lime was burnt out of them on location. (HABLE-MÁRTON 2001, 21-37) The limestone rocks were also present in the territory of the cemetery and were exported for their raw material. The traces of an open quarry were observed in sector 24. The marks left by splitting and carving could be seen on the eastern side of the rock, and quarry debris accumulated in front of this rock (Fig. 1: 16). The remains of a wall (opus spicatum) was found a few metres from the stone heap and may have been part of a former graveyard (Fig. I: 17). A few pits appeared which were deeper than the level of the graves but their age and function cannot be certainly determined (Fig. 1: 18). In three features we found sherds from the Late Copper Age Baden culture (Fig. 1:19). Tibor liable
