BARBARA KOLOZSI - LÁSZLÓ SZABÓ AN AVAR SETTLEMENT ON THE PERIPHERY OF HORTOBÁGY

(Summary)

Rescue excavations have recently been earned out on the path of the highway bypass around Debrecen, west of the city. The excavated area is on the right bank of the Tócó stream, on an elevation in a region once intersected by ancient watercourses. The excavation took place during the autumn of 2003 and the spring and summer of 2004 on a roughly 50 600 m2 large surface. Although we did expect a large site based on the find distributions from the survey, it turned out only during the course of the excavation that we are uncovering the cross- section of a whole Avar settlement and its cemetery. The excavated surface was located on a 1-1,5 meter high, 5-600 meter wide elevation that stretched for many kilometres in a north- south direction. It is not a surprise that in the area previously covered by water, this safer and drier part was chosen for settlement. (Beside the Avar village, remains of a Sarmatian settlement were discovered as well.)
