Der spätbronzezeitliche zweiteilige bronzebrustpanzer aus der Donau in Ungarn

The Szent István Király Museum of Székesfehérvár bought the cuirass, which had been found in the Danube near Pilismarót, from a private collector in 1982. The breast and back plates of the cuirass were built of bronze plates. The complete cuirass is a unique item and it belongs to the group of cuirasses found in the Danube region [Èaka (Cseke), Ducové (Ducó), Èierna nad Tisou (Ágcsernyő), Nadap, Pázmándfalu]. An intact armour was found in grave 12 of Dendra in the Aegean, which was composed of a high, separate neck guard, interlocked plates and a coat-of-chain built of two parts underneath. Two fragmentary cuirasses of the same type are known from the settlement of Thebes. They are dated from the LH II-III A2/B1 period. The shape of the cuirass from the Danube and its high neck guard are similar to the miniature bronze cuirass, worn as a pendant, from the hoard find of Brandgraben (Steiermark) dated from Bz D-Ha A1 and the bipartite cuirass found in the Seine at Saint-Germain-du-Plain. On this cuirass from the Danube, flat rivets hold the two plates together on both sides. Similar, although conical rivets were used in the cuirasses from Èierna nad Tisou and Saint-Germain-du-Plain. A motive of semicircular, punched dots can be seen on the bottom of the back plate of the cuirass from the Danube. This and the solution of the shoulder strap on the right shoulder show similarity to the cuirass from Saint-Germain-du-Plain. The finely punched dot row (“Gleich-Buckel-System”) and the plastic rib are characteristic decorations of the cuirasses of the Danube region. The cuirass from the Danube cannot exactly be dated in lack of accompanying finds nevertheless the listed characteristic suggest that it came from the Bz D-Ha A1 period

Beiträge zu den Anhängern im Spätbronzezeitlichen Depotfund von Nadap

Data to the pendants of the late Bronze Age depot find from Nadap . The study deals with the pendants of the significant late Bronze Age depot find published recently by J. Makkay. Pendants of diverse types can be found in it: 1) items belonging to “reiche Gehänge”, 2) “Mittelstück vom Typ Sankt Katharein oder Winklsaβ“, 3) “trichterförmige Anhänger“. The pendants composed of hourglass-shaped items with denticulate ornaments on both sides (Fig. 1.1-2) are unique items in the Hungarian find materials: they belong to “reiche Gehänge”.The fragment of the Tibolddaróc type pendant (Fig. 2.1) and the large, funnel-shaped pendant (Fig. 3.4) of the Nadap depot find could be imported to Transdanubia from the territory of the Northeastern Hungarian Piliny culture. The pendants of the Nadap depot find can be dated from the early and older Urnfield culture, the B2 D — Ha A1 period

Spätbronzezeitliches Gräberfeld von Sárbogárd-Tringer-Tanya (Komitat Fejér) in Ost-Transdanubien

The Late Bronze Age cemetery of Sárbogárd-Tringer-tanya is located in the northern part of the town of Sárbogárd in Central Hungary. This cemetery detail with 13 pits of relocated cremation burials were discovered during a rescue excavation in 1960. Based on their pottery and bronze grave goods, these burials have been dated to the Bz C2-D1 and Bz D2-Ha A1 periods. While in graves belonging to the early phase of the cemetery, forms and decorations of the pottery tradition characteristic of the Tumulus Culture can be observed, vessels and bronze items typical of the eastern Alpine and Bakony regions during the Early Urnfield period were placed in younger graves. A wide variety of connections can be traced on the items of the graves of Sárbogárd; connections with the Slovakian Vorčaka-Čaka Culture in western direction, with the Blučina-Horizon in southern direction, with the Baierdorf-Velatice Culture in the eastern Alpine region, with the Csorva Group in the Hungarian Plain, with the Late Tumulus-Early Urnfield Period in the southern area of Transdanubia, with the sites of Oloris and Doljni Lakos in Slovenia, and with the cemeteries of Virovitica and Sirova Katalena in Croatia. These parallels prove that some features of the Bakony Group spread southwards and south-eastwards
