Abstract

In the Early Avar period, groups from the Eastern European steppe appeared in the Carpathian Basin mainly in the Transtisza region. Recent research has revealed the coeval presence of similar communities in south-east Transdanubia. This paper presents an evaluation of burials of steppe origin from two cemeteries, Szekszárd-Bogyiszlói Street and Kölked-Feketekapu Cemetery B, with particular emphasis on the analogies to the burial customs in the Transtisza region.
