Aerial Geoarchaeological Survey in the Valleys of the Mureş and Arieş Rivers (2009-2013)

The paper presents the most important results of the Romanian–Hungarian aerial archaeological project, i.e.the intensive topographic research of the Middle Mureş Valley. Situated between the mountains, in the widen-ing valley section various aged/high terraces were formed, providing proper conditions for human habitats.Beside the already documented stone buildings from the Roman period, observed due to the negative cropmarks – especially in 2013 – positive crop marks of settlements datable before and after the Roman periodwere observed in large variety. The simultaneous examination of the geomorphological conditions underlinedsignificant differences between the prehistoric and Roman strategies of settlement establishment

The structure of the burial mounds in the Eastern Hallstatt areas: a geophysical approach

Prospecting ploughed-out/erased burial mounds is an important part of the Early Iron Age sites research. A complex use of geophysical methods in forested areas is effective also in the case of tracing the construction of burial mounds. Burial mounds that appear similar on the DSM have relevant differences in their construction
