Summary/Abstract: The decade of 1940’s in Kolozsvár (RO: Cluj-Napoca) was the most significant period of the academic work of Gyula László (1910–1998), a prominent figure of the 20th century archaeology – his methodological innovations of the Hungarian archaeology being applied even today. His academic views were first composed at Kolozsvár and even though he kept on softening them, he stuck to these ideas throughout his life. His hypothesis including the one of the Hun-Hungarian relationship or the duo (multiple) conquest (Honfoglalás) are today supported by archaeogenetic researches, his methodology of cemetery analysis and his theory of archaeological ethnography are considered as a foundation in the scientific research. Present paper reviews Gyula László’s archaeological activity during the decade spent at Kolozsvár, which is not only of academic significance but also strictly related to Transylvanian Hungarian Science Policy aspirations after the Second Vienna Arbitration.
