Cumania 28. on a north-south oriented elevated ridge. The excavation extended to a 1,500 m2 surface and resulted pits and ditches of the Nagyrév Culture. Relating to find material, there was one pit is which three storing vessels, a half stone axe and a stone with regular shape had been placed. The excavation proved that the vessels were all put on end in the pit in an intact form. The finds included pots for fermentation and storing liquid. This vessel depot can be grouped to the find complexes comprising large storing vessels, which are detectable in the Early Bronze Age. The material allows for both profane and sacral interpretation. In this case it can be connected to ritual actions. István Knipl pp. 47-58 CHANGES IN THE USAGE OF LANDSCAPE IN SPACE AND TIME Hajós and Császártöltés is situated in one of the most challenging geographical regions of the Hungarian Great Plain; at the borderland of the Kiskunság Sand Ridge and the Kalocsa - Sárköz Region. The fieldwork for the study had been done in 2000-2001 (Császártöltés) and 2010-2011 (Hajós). During the project, 183 sites, 15 cultures and 311 archaeological features (settlements, cemeteries) were identified. The research proved that the area had been inhabited intermittently from the Early Neolithic Period till today. However, the people living there largely differed it terms of population numbers and lifestyle. Thus, they utilized the surrounding landscapes in diverse ways and to various extent. Yet, the exploitation of the area was not only influenced by the technical abilities and population numbers of the various peoples, but it greatly depended on environmental factors. At last, the settlement structure developed and dynamically transformed effected by these complex gradients. Csilla Balogh - György V. Székely pp. 59-72 FIFTH CENTURY ALAN DAGGER FROM KISKUNFÉLEGYHÁZA - KŐVÁGÓ-ÉR The paper is focusing on a relatively rare find-type in the Hunnic Period material of the Carpathian Basin: the short, double-edged dagger, with symmetrical notching at the hilt, as one similar find was collected as a stray find in 1998, at Kiskunfélegyháza - Kővágó ér site. The discussion provides a short overview on the eight similar finds from the Carpathian Basin, analyse the roots of this weapon-type from the Caucasus to today France. The essay also describes the find context and the geographical settings of the pieces from the Carpathian Basin.

Only schematic drawings and blurry photos survived as the documentation of the research, still the data clearly prove that the graves were part of a Rascian-Vlach cemetery from the end of the 16th century. All those people from the Balkans, who were forced to move to the deserted Hungarian settlements in the region of Baja and Sombor by the order of Suleiman the Great, in fact settled in the uninhabited settlements, however, did not use the churchyard cemeteries of the former 360
