Summaries ally developing sustainable land management system. This primarily means the introduction of fruit production and animal husbandry in the marshy areas, combined with sustainable study tourism. In view of this it is necessary to present the complex landscape- and cultural history after the Kis-Sziget is excavated by archaeologists. For this the novelties of MÖF-EKI in the fields of cultural ecological and communication studies can be taken as a suitable background. RESTORATION, CONSERVATION Enikő Mala pp. 321-326 THE RESTORATION OF THE LEATHER BUCKLE BELT FROM DUNAPATAJ The leather buckle belt had been found in the medieval churchyard cemetery at Dunapataj, where György Székely conducted archaeological research in 1999 and 2002. The belt was finally restored in 2015. Originally, the ornamented mounts were fitted on a leather belt, thus the restoration and reconstruction required a complex approach. Since some parts of the buckle belt were missing, some mounts were replaced with replicas, which helped to outline the presumed appearance of the belt. I am indebted to György Székely for the information connected to the uncovering of the belt, Mária Újvári, who helped me with the restoration of the leather remains, and Ágnes Vida for drawing the sketches of the reconstructed belt.

The chosen topic is a traditional subject, one of the best identified topics in the field of folklore and vernacular cultural traditions. Thus its display was both a challenge and suitable issue for re-interpretation. We searched the answers by the means of a museum interpretation how something may become not sustainable, which had been viable for thousands of years. Until the early twentieth century, peasants lived according to the concept of sustainability — which is a frequently quoted term today as well. Bread is among the basic food, the wheat grows from the soil — but all other aspects have changed after the introduction of heavy machinery in the agricultural production. Thus the traditional peasant land management and household, the overworking and the sweating work culture stay alive through ethnographical studies, literary works and exhibitions too... 397
