Salgótarján–Baglyas-kő: A multi-period prehistoric site and medieval castle

Summary/Abstract: Located in north-eastern Hungary, the site occupied during several periods features a medievalcastle and a multi-period prehistoric settlement with a tell-like layer sequence of several meters. Similar stratifiedhilltop settlements, sometimes protected with some type of defences, have hitherto usually been assigned to theBaden culture. However, most of these sites are known exclusively from old excavations or finds collected duringfield surveys. The investigation of the Baglyas-kő site was undertaken with the goal of clarifying the spatialoccupation strategies employed by different cultures during successive periods in a location that was eminentlysuited to constructing strongholds and of determining the periods during which the site was occupied, alongsidethe identification of possible correlations between the finds and various archaeological features. As it turnedout, the site was not solely occupied during the Baden period in prehistory.
