Summary/Abstract: N-S oriented grave group in the Gepid cemetery of Biharkeresztes–Ártánd-Nagyfarkasdomb. There was a grave group in the Hun period Gepid cemetery of Biharkeresztes–Ártánd-Nagyfarkasdomb that could be characterised by N-S orientation, drink offerings usually placed in a jug at the head and the special costumes. Both men and women wore buckled boots on the feet and two or three belts around the waists: one belonged to the trousers, one to the kaftan and one to the weapon. These burial customs were characteristic of the Alans of the Hun period.
