Hungarian Archaeologists Busy at Home, Abroad in 2011

English

Archaeologists uncovered the remains of an early Bronze Age settlement on the edge of Újfehértó, in northeast Hungary, at the end of November. They found animal bones as well as pieces of ceramic vessels formed by hand that are a tell-tale sign of the period.
 
In August, nine partially looted Sarmatian graves were discovered in the course of heritage protection work in nearby Debrecen.
 
In Jásd, in the west of the country, an Árpád Age cemetery was discovered.
 
Hungarian archaeologists were busy abroad too. Work continued at a dig in Cambodia at Koh Ker, the capital of the Khmer empire for a short time in the 10th century, and at the necropolis in the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes.
