Results of a systematic survey programme on the Hatvan sites of Emőd-Nagyhalom and Tard-Tatárdomb in Northern Hungary

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we want to present some results of an intensive survey programme on the Bronze Age settlements of Emőd-Nagyhalom and Tard-Tatárdomb in Northern Hungary. The inner cores of these multi-layer sites are just one part of a more complex whole. They are surrounded by an outer settlement that is separated by a deep and wide ditch from the inner tell part. The outer settlement itself can be divided in two parts: There is an intensively used inner part probably with houses and an outer part featuring pits that could be indicative of an everyday activity zone of some kind such as storage or production. The precise chronological and functional relation of these settlement parts will be the subject of future work. Our current research is based mainly on intensive archaeological survey, aerial photography, topographical measurements and magnetometer survey that provide important data both on the intra and off-site level. This paper focuses on the results of the geophysical survey methods.
