Beneath the Marketplaces: Árpádian Age (10th–13th century) settlement traces from the city centres of Pápa and Győr, Western Hungary

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the evaluation and comparison of the Árpádian Age (10th–13th century) settlement fragments beneath the present day main squares of two towns located in the centre (Győr) and on the periphery(Pápa) of the so-called Kisalföld region of Hungary. The archaeological works were carried out on a 900 m2area between 1968 and 2009 at the first, while 1771 m2 were excavated in 2011 at the other site, resulting in38 and 91 objects from the discussed period. The description of the more important archaeological features and the ceramic find material are presented in the contexts of regional characteristics and the historical data known about the two settlements’ role in the economy and administration of the early Hungarian state.
