NOTE OF THE AUTHORS The herein study analyzes the results of the archaeological research carried out in 2004 at Nyíregyháza-Oros, on the site of „Úr-Csere”, when building the eastern ring road of Nyíregyháza Town. The Late Bronze Age settlement was excavated over an area of 14,620m2, inside of two archaeological sites conventionally delimited by a country road. When identifying the area through surface researches, the area located north of this road was assigned the index “Site 26”, and the area south of it was assigned the index “Site 33”. The archaeological researches carried out between June 9 and October 8, 2004 led to the uncovering of 186 archaeological complexes dated to the Late Bronze Age. Archaeological complexes dated to the Eneolithic Age, the early Bronze Age, the Roman Age and the migrations period were also discovered on the same occasion. The archeological excavations performed on the eastern route of Nyíregyháza Town ring road were made by the Museums Directorate of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County, being coordinated by the archaeologists Katalin Kurucz, Eszter Istvánovits and Katalin Almássy.
