Bánffy et al.: Das Sárköz im südungarischen Donaugebiet - ein Korridor zwischen dem Balkan und Mitteleuropa im 6.-5. Jt. v. Chr. (original) (raw)
From the beginning of the early Neolithic, the region in South East Transdanubia called Sárköz was a scene of a continual series of impacts from the North West Balkan that were transformed and mediated further towards Transdanubia and along the Danube valley to Western Central Europe. The Sárköz is a wetland flanking along both Danube banks, with a long and intensive occupation history over the 6.–5. Millennia BC. This short chapter is a first review of its settlement history including new excavations like Fajsz-Garadomb, Tolna-Mözs and Alsónyék-Bátaszék. We focus on the impacts and long-distance connections that caused changes in the environment and the Late Neolithic landscape, so that within the Lengyel culture, the social structure and economy gradual showed Early Chalcholithic characteristics.

The present volume assembles contributions presented at two international conferences dedicated to recent studies on the Neolithic and Eneolithic of Southeast and Eastern Central Europe. Twenty years after the publication of the last comprehensive and broad scale conference on the historical concept, materiality and chronology of the Copper Age the International Conference "The Transition from the Neolithic to the Eneolithic in Central and SouthEastern Europe in the Light of Recent Research" took place in Timişoara, Romania on 0-2 November 20. Organised by the editors of this volume, 23 colleagues from seven countries gathered at the atmospheric venue of the baroque fortification "Bastionul" for a two days intensive program of lectures, focussing on regional overviews over the transition from the Neolithic to the Eneolithic. The meeting brought together new data and new perspectives on the final periods of the Neolithic as well as the transition process to the Eneolithic. In 2013, while most of the Timişoara conference contributions had been submitted and editorial work had already begun, the editors of the present volume organised the session A32 at the 9 th meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) at Plzeň, Czech Republic on "Relative vs absolute chronology of the Neolithic of the Carpathian Basin and South Eastern Europe". Twelve lectures and one poster presentation were given by scholars of nine European countries, some of which had also taken part at the Timişoara conference. The thematic scope of the EAA session was focussed rather on approaches to adjust and revise traditional relative chronologies using new radiocarbon dates and calibration models (Bayesian statistics). Only a part of the EAA session contributions, however, was submitted until spring 204-too few to be published in a separate volume. The editors therefore decided to integrate the Plzeň papers into the volume originally planned as the Timişoara proceedings. The present volume, thus, has developed a broader scope-both in terms of chronology (from Early Neolithic to Late Eneolithic) and geography (from Greece to Slovenia and Ukraine). The editors are convinced that it represents quite an impressive cross section of ongoing research on the Neolithic and Eneolithic in Southeast and Eastern Central Europe. Finally we would like to thank all the contributors for their patient cooperation, the Muzeul Banatului Timişoara, County Timiş and the Freie Universität Berlin for the financial support in organising the Timişoara conference and publishing this volume, the Czech organisers of the EAA meeting at Plzeň for a smooth organisation and pleasant atmosphere, Dr. Morten Hegewisch and Jan Müller-Edzards (FU Berlin) for the substantial editorial work. We hope that this volume will both stimulate discussions on our present knowledge and be an incentive for further research. Only an improved chronological resolution will help us to better understand the dynamics of cultural processes in prehistory.

Sárköz, Südungarn: Das Neolithikum in Transdanubien

Since 2011 the Romano-Germanic Commission (RGK) engages in geomagnetic prospections on Hungarian multi-period settlements. Our study began with fieldwork at the Alsónyék-Bátaszék and Tolna-Mözs sites. In die following years we continued the survey on both sites, enlarging the program on the tell settlement of Fajsz-Kovácshalom and on other sites in eastern Hungary. Our main goal is to discuss the combination of excavation data and geomagnetics which provides a great opportunity to estimate the size of the settlements as well as to study their internal structures. The report focuses on the Alsónyék-Bátaszék and Tolna-Mözs site where numerous settlement remains and a large number of Late Neolithic burials were unearthed. Excellent prerequisites for prospection campaigns include rich comparative excavation data which are useful for understanding and interpreting geomagnetic anomalies from the unexcavated areas.
