Bronze Age microregional settlement investigations in the locality of Nagycenk (Northwestern Hungary) (original) (raw)
In der Grenzregion Ostösterreichs, der Südwestslowakei und Westungarns sind relativ viele, auf die Zeit zwischen 2200/2100 und 1600/1500 v. Chr. datierbare Körperbestattungen, beziehungsweise Gräberfelder bekannt. Anhand der Riten und Beigaben, doch in erster Linie anhand der Keramiktypen dieser Bestattungen isolierte man am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts diese bronzezeitliche archäologische Kultur, die in der ungarischen Fachliteratur Gáta-Kultur, in der internationalen Fachliteratur Wieselburger Kultur genannt wird. Aufgrund der terminologischen Unterschiede wird diese Epoche in Österreich und in der Slowakei in die frühe, und in Ungarn in das Ende der frühen und in die mittlere Bronzezeit datiert. Der sogenannten Gáta–Wieselburg-Kultur können auf dem Gebiet des heutigen Österreichs über 1000, in Ungarn insgesamt 220 Gräber zugeordnet werden. Im Vergleich mit den Bestattungen und Streufunden sind in der Region weniger Siedlungen aus der frühen und mittleren Bronzezeit bekannt. Deshalb gilt der am Rande Nagycenks (Großzinkendorf) gelegene Fundort, den János Gömöri während der Kurvenkorrektur der Eisenbahngleise untersuchte, als herausragend, die Mitarbeiter des Soproner Museums deckten hier nämlich 150 m nordwestlich von 27 Körperbestattungen der Gáta–Wieselburg-Kultur Siedlungsspuren aus womöglich demselben Zeitalter auf. Die Forschungsgruppe Lendület/Momentum Mobilität des Archäologischen Instituts im Geisteswissenschaftlichen Forschungszentrum begann 2018 mit der Analyse der zum Gräberfeld und der Siedlung gehörenden Mikroregion. Das in vorliegender Studie aufgearbeitete Siedlungsmaterial deuten wir in breiterer Umgebung unserer mikroregionalen Forschungsarbeit und in Verbindung mit den bronzezeitlichen, im Tal des Arany-Bach beobachteten Niederlassungen, darüber hinaus widmen wir uns weiteren siedlungsgeschichtlichen Daten des Verbreitungsgebiets der Kultur.

In this paper we want to provide a brief introduction to our current research on the Early to Middle Bronze Age (Hatvan to Füzesabony period) settlement sites in the Borsod plain of North-eastern Hungary. Our work is based on intensive archaeological surface survey, aerial photography, topographical measurements and magnetometer survey that provide important data both on the intra and off-site level. With the results obtained so far, it is possible to provide a much more nuanced picture of both the internal structure of the tell and tell-like Bronze Age sites of our study area and their development through time than was hitherto possible. As an example of the ongoing research we will discuss some results of our work at the site of Tiszabábolna-Fehérlótanya including the surface finds, magnetometry and archaeozoological results.
In this paper we want to present some results of an intensive survey programme on the Bronze Age settlements of Emőd-Nagyhalom and Tard-Tatárdomb in Northern Hungary. The inner cores of these multi-layer sites are just one part of a more complex whole. They are surrounded by an outer settlement that is separated by a deep and wide ditch from the inner tell part. The outer settlement itself can be divided in two parts: There is an intensively used inner part probably with houses and an outer part featuring pits that could be indicative of an everyday activity zone of some kind such as storage or production. The precise chronological and functional relation of these settlement parts will be the subject of future work. Our current research is based mainly on intensive archaeological survey, aerial photography, topographical measurements and magnetometer survey that provide important data both on the intra and off-site level. This paper focuses on the results of the geophysical survey methods.
