The settling of the Alföld Linear Pottery Culture in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county: Microregional researches in the area of Mezoség in Nyírség

Summary/Abstract: The main goal of the dissertation is the complex analysis of the Middle Neolithic period in the western part of Szabolcs-Szatmár county – known in the literature as the „nyíri Mezoség” region.1This region with a full extent of 50×25 kmis complex in both geographical and archaeological terms. The reason for that lies in its transitional nature: it is situated on the border of the Upper and Middle Tisza Region and has good connections to the Nyírség and the foothills of the North Hungarian Range. The western part of the landscape was formed by the Tisza River, whose meanders also define the landscape nowadays. The middle and eastern part is covered by sandy loess, which is marked by sand-hills and saline lakes formed by wind. Thanks to this duality this region represents a color patch in the mosaic like world of the Great Hungarian Plain.
