Abstract

The site of Tolna-Mözs, Községi Csádés földek (TO-02) was excavated during the construction of highway M6 in 2008–2009. The excavation has resulted in Copper Age, Bronze Age, Celtic, Avar and Árpádian-Age phenomena. This study presents the 23 graves dating to the Avar Age. The site is bounded by small streams from the northwest and from the southeast. The Avar graves arranged in scattered groups form a small burial place. The cemetery adds new information to our understanding of the “Middle Avar period” settlement of the eastern Transdanubia and Mezőföld.
