5 The spiral tube of semicircular cross sectioned gold wire came to light from grave 359 (Fig. 26). 9

6 Horse shoe-shaped pendents were seldom strung on necklaces in the company of other pendents. It was hanging mainly on necklaces made of clay or shell beads (for example graves 56, 160, 161, 175. — see figs. 12, 15.). 9

7 The body of grave 66 wore two bracelets on his right arm and one on his left. In graves 102 and 330 two bracelets were found on each arm. 9

8 For footware see TROGMAYER 1965, 61-62. "The local Middle Bronze Age population udes a prismatic chiselled stone to sharpen their tools and arms attached to their belts. The flintstone worn on the belt must have served this purpose also. 10

0 We observed that the richly armed people's graves contained tools, like punches and chisels in the Middle Bronze Age cemetery of Tiszafüred. 10

2 This problem can be considered at other accesories of arms as well. In spite of the fact that we could not come to a solid conclusion concerning the daggers and hatchets this question is not fictional. Many identical or different examples of some weapons occur in treasures. 103 10

4MOZSOLICS 1973, 14-15; The closest analogy of the hatchet of Tiszafüred is the hatchet of the treasure of Alsónémedi (MOZSOLICS 1967, PI. 61. no. 2.). 10

6 Only those graves were considered in our listing where more characteristic objects concerning apparel came to light. 10

7 Only the people of the Peijámos culture knew the pythos burial of southern origin among the tribes of the Middle Bronze Age of the Plain region. Their traces can be found in Central Europe also (see KOVÁCS 1966b, 66.). 10

9 The topografical relation of the men buried with arms and women with gold jewels can be a point of view in the further investigation of the cemetery. Only grave 315 (bronze dagger) and grave 326 (gold Noppenring) can be considered from this aspect from the mentioned western part of the cemetery. The two burials are part of different grave groups. 11

0 The newcomers were most likely composed of the Tumulus culture people who migrated away from Central Europe. These swept along with them other people from the western part of the Carpathian basin. 11

1 As we have seen this can be proven by the development of burial customs and by the variations in shape and motive of the material culture. 11

2 The most solid proof for this connection is the cup found in grave 181, which is decorated by the characteristic decoration of the Felsőszőcs culture (PI. 18. no. 181/2.). 11

3 Similar to these were found among the remains of the Nagyrév culture and Vatya culture (Dunaújváros—Koszider). 11
