UNPUBLISHED FINDS FROM THE V. CENTURY ORIGINATED FROM TRANSDANURIA IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM AND THE JANUS PANNONIUS MUSEUM OF PÉCS ATTILA KISS Author collected the following finds while on a private study-tour in England in 1969, and during his topographic work. Most of them have a sporadic character and thus their evaluation is rather difficult. With their publication author intended to furnish some data for further research. (Fig. I.)

Trenches were dug and three graves — inclusive the one found by the road-builders — were unearthed. Figure 2. Babarc. General plan of the cemetery
