Summary/Abstract: The goal of my dissertation is the collection and evaluation of iron tools found in the Roman province of Pannonia, using a system of criteria which is in compliance with the international trend of research. With the exception of agricultural implements this subject belongs to the barely investigated part of Hungarian archaeology. In this context, the research of the related objects is relevant by all means. Dealing with this topic is particularly justified by an unpoetic circumstance, namely the persistent corrosion. A significant part of the iron objects are at risk to be destroyed without any suitable documentation. Therefore compiling the catalogue related to my doctoral thesis means data saving at the same time.
