Cultural and Landscape Changes in South-East Hungary II (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789638046048)

Complete publication of the Prehistoric, Sarmatian and Late Avar settlement at Gyoma 133 (Békés County Microregion). This is a full excavation report on work carried out between 1986 and 1988, the last season being in advance of development. The bulk of material is of Sarmatian (Roman) date and involves three occupation levels, the second involving extensive evidence of metallurgy. Particularly interesting are the results of animal bone study which allow a new picture of Sarmatian agriculture to be built up. The Sarmatians were great horsemen and the discovery of articulated remains of horses and dogs seem to indicate ritual treatment of these important animals.
