Summary/Abstract: The article aims to provide an archaeological analysis of eight burials from the second and third quarters of the 7th century from the Békésszentandrás-Benda-tanya and Szarvas-Kovács-halom (Békés County, SE-Hungary) sites. Five of the eight graves were referred to as burials with horse harness, which means that only the horse tools were placed in the graves. These not only increase the number of burials with horse harness known so far from the Trans-Tisza region but also provide new data for the evaluation of this burial custom.
