Summary/Abstract: The area of the investigation extends to the so-called Small Hungarian Plain in Hungary and Slovakia. It is framed by the river Hron, the Bakony-Vértes and Gerecse hills to the east, and borders the foothills of the Alps and the Carpathian mountains to the west (it is 8000 sqkm, Fig. 1). Highlands and lowlands are also represented, and the Danube crosses the area in the centre of the territory. Chronologically, this study concerns the period during which the Hallstatt culture existed (8th – 5th century BC), especially in its mature and final stage. Although there were cultural changes in the end of this period, the region was part of the Eastern Hallstatt-circle, namely of its smaller group the Kalenderberg culture. The appearance of the early La-Tène culture and the Vekerzug culture characterized the area of the study.
