Keszthely-Fenékpuszta im Kontext spätantiker Kontinuitätsforschung zwischen Noricum und Moesia

Viac o knihe

Keszthely-Fenékpuszta is significant in studying transformation processes from Late Antiquity to the early Middle Ages. The 15 ha Roman fortification, its settlement structure, and extensive cemeteries have been investigated for over 125 years. Analyzing and publishing the vast archaeological finds from the 4th to 9th centuries A.D. presents a considerable challenge for Hungarian Early History research. In 2006, a German-Hungarian research project initiated an interdisciplinary approach to studying grave and settlement materials. Beyond archaeological analysis, further investigations aimed to reconstruct environmental and living conditions at the site. The second volume of the series Castellum Pannonicum Pelsonense presents these findings to the scientific community. The project results are supplemented by contributions from an international conference held in Keszthely in October 2009, which explored the continuity or discontinuity of Late Antique traditions and settlement forms in the broader Pannonian area and neighboring regions. This volume provides a representative overview of the current research landscape and future challenges while situating the analysis of Keszthely-Fenékpuszta within an appropriate international framework.
