Avar-period tombs from the border of Mindszent Haraszti László - Bede Ádám Avar kori sírok Mindszent-Szegvári út, Szőlő-part lelőhelyen László Haraszti - Adám Bede In May 2013, the Móra Ferenc Museum performed an exploratory excavation during construction works at the Southeastern part of Mindszent’s Nr. 62. Quarry which, by prior agreement, matched with the building’s foundation ditches. There were two instances at the Southern edge of the foundation ditch that human remains were uncovered. Next, using manual force in both cases, we tore into the Southern side of the foundation ditch and after preparing a spot documentation, we unearthed the graves. The Southern grave shaft held the remains of an adult woman and two Kiszombor-style great spherical silver earrings. On the Western part of the investment area, the skeleton of a small child was uncovered; the area around the pelvis was unfortunately destroyed during excavation. Besides some featureless items made from iron, a smaller lead cross was found around the area of the neck. The purpose of the present study is to publish the material regarding the two graves and to provide a short analysis of the material finds from the graves, which - in addition to a short research history overview - includes the placement of the earrings and the cross into the typology of Avar-period research > 54
