ARCHAEOLOGIA CUMANICA 3 Enikő Török Tételhegy on old maps The study offers an overview of how Tételhegy appear on maps - as a settlement, as a geographic feature or landmark, as an outlying area, etc. - and how it was called. When assessing the source value of maps, we must also be aware of the sources and the type of information used for making a particular map as well as the technique with which it was made. The settlement’s earliest depiction can be found on Idrisi’s world map from 1154, on which a settlement by the name of Titlws appears along the Danube, about halfway between the towns of Budavár and Bács. Given that the Arab cartographer had no personal knowledge of Hungary, it remains uncertain whether this Titlus refers to Titel in the Bácska region or to Tételhegy. Tételhegy next appears on maps from the 18th century on which it is marked as a geographic feature. Sándor Mikoviny indicated the location of Tételhegy east of Solt with hatching on his map depicting the Kalocsa Sárköz region, although he did not record its name. In 1763, Mihály Ruttkay marked the place as “Tétel-halom” [Tétel mound]. Tételhegy appears on the maps of the First, the Second and the Third Military Ordnance Survey, on the sheets of the relevant Danube sections, on the county maps as well as on the country maps. The cadastral map drawn in 1880 at a 1:2880 scale shows Tétel as the name of an outlying area and the triangulation point as Tételhalom. The Solt sheet of the 1:10,000 topographic map of the Unified National Mapping System (EOTR) from 1981 again depicts “Tétel-halom” as a geographic feature. The tourist map of the Kiskunság National Park published in 2002 by the Paulus Cartographic Office shows “Tételhegy” as an inhabited outlying area. Finally, “Tétel” appears as a medieval settlement on the historical map of the medieval Kalocsa-Bács bishopric, published in 2003. 268
