the Middle Bronze Age. At Csepel-Szigetszentmiklós (No. 9) seven graves of the Harangedény-Csepel group of the Early Bronze Age were unearthed, and at Csepel-Háros (No. 10) signs referring to an Early- and Middle Bronze Age settlement could be observed in a length of one kilometre.Similarly in Csepel,at Hollandi Road (No.l2)a part of a settlement similarly from the Bronze age came to light in the course of sandmining. In Növény Street, Budatétény (No. 13) the saved 76 graves of the widely extending urn cemetery dating from the Bronze Age can be registered as a new archaeological site. Apart from the already mentioned Roman excavations conducted at Obuda, we did research work at the site of the one-time civilian town. We determined the periods of the lines of shops and portico situated along the north-south main street of the town (No. 111. ), and preceding the reconstruction of the ancient monuments, we conducted verifying excavations of the eastern wing of the forum (No. 112). Along the northern wall of the civilian town the excavation - which preceded the presentation of the ancient monument - revealed the parts of the wall and the moat system. In the area of the industrial railway of Keled Street (No. 118. ) ground-plans of buildings could be cleared up which had bordered the road starting from the western gate of the town. In the course of the excavations preceding the modernization of the road No. M-ll, we opened up the 105th pillar (No. 113, 114. ) of the aqueduct starting from the Roman baths and crossing the town, as well as further shops of the so-called magazine row in the south (No. 110.). Outside Óbuda, at Március 15 Square, Budapest, fifth district, we uncovered a section of the southern wall of the camp dating from Diocletian' s age, further two rooms, as well as brick graves (No. 121), and continued the research of the vicus and auxiliary camp in Hunyadi János Street, Budapest, eleventh district (No. 122-124). During the works of reconstruction of the jet bath at Szent Gellért Square (No.l25)we could uncover pit-dwellings and holes belonging to a Celtic-Eraviscan settlement and, in Kende Street (No. 126), we were able to unearth part of a potter's shop dating from the early imperial period; in Növény Street in Budatétény (No. 127) we investigated into parts of an as yet unknown Roman settlement. We could enrich also our collection of the Migration Period, and made valuable observations while excavating the 74 graves of the cemetery of a German ethnic group at Péceli Road, Budapest, seventeenth district (No. 130). In the course of the medieval research conducted outside of the Buda castle the works of excavating the Dominican monastery at Hess András Square (No. 136, 137) were completed; in Táncsics Street (No. 139) a section of the town wall, in Fortuna Street (No. 140) the cellars of two medieval houses were uncovered. In Országház Street (

No. 141). we excavated the foundation walls of the northern tract of the 18th century Franciscan monastery. At Corvin Square (No. 144. ) we unearthed the walls of the presumed Augustine monastery, further, near the one-time Capuchin monastery in Fő Street (No.

146), we conducted investigations in to the walls of the medieval building under the bath of pasha Toygun, dating, from the Turkish period. On the Budakeszi Street, second district we carried on archaeological research into the one-time Budaszentlőrinc Pauline monastery (No. 147) and the work of unearthing the medieval village Nyék, in Szajkó Street (No. 148. ). On the occassion of the excavations of medieval Pest (No. 184 and 185, as well as K. Melis' study in the present volume), in the course of the archaeological research work into the walls and gates, the development of the topography of the town could be outlined. In Kossuth Lajos Street in Rákospalota (No. 187. ) the building history of the church of the church of medieval origin could be cleared up in part; similarly, in Cinkota (No. 188.) we could follow the remains of the encircling stone-wall dating from the Arpadian age, as well as the traces of the settlement round the church. The rebuilding of the one-time Capuchin monastery at No. 30-32 Fő Street (No. 189.) enabled us to investigate the details of pasha Toygun's bath which stood there. We conducted works of unearthing a further bath similarly from the period of the Turkish rule in Hungary, on the occasion of the extension works of Császárfürdő in Frankéi Leó Road (No. 190. ). 396
