Abstract

Presented in this study are the most important findings o f the aerial surveys o f tumulus cemeteries begun in 2001 in Hungary. The investigation o f the already known Iron Age cemeteries in Transdanubia and the probably prehistoric mounds in the Her nád Valley provided an abundance o f fresh data. Also discussed are the features indicating perished tumuli on aerial photographs, allowing the identification o f previously unknown tumulus cemeteries, together with a comparison o f tumuli and ditched graves.
