At the Intersection of Border Areas. Traces of an Inn of the 17th and 18th centuries on the Border of Today’s Kaszaper and Végegyháza (Békés County, Hungary)

Summary/Abstract: Six years ago, the Nagy Gyula Regional Museum of Orosháza made a cooperation agreement with nine metal detectorists. Since then, the relationship between the professionals and the volunteers has been excellent, in fact, exemplary: participants are doing the collecting and recording work in collaboration, as well as the presentation of the results. This paper is also a product of thinking together. The authors would like top resent the finds of a building on a significant archaeological site collected by metal detectorists. This object is located on the border of today’s Kaszaper and Végegyháza. Its “operation time” can also be considered a border area because it existed at the intersection of archaeological and ethnographical periods. However, as we will see, these borders do not separate, but more likely connect space and time either, as well as the representatives of metal detectorists and professional archaeologists.
