ARCHÄOLOGISCHE ANGABEN ZUM BEZIEHUNGSSYSTEM DES KARPATENBECKENS UND DES OSTALPENRAUMES IM 10.–11. JAHRHUNDERT – VON WEST NACH OST
ARCHAEOLOGICAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE CARPATHIAN BASIN AND THE EAST ALPS REGION IN THE 10-11. CENTURY - FROM WEST TO EAST

Summary/Abstract: In my study I tried to analyze the button terminalled rings, the brooches and the earrings with engraved pattern or with enamel inlay, which are typical of the eastern Alps region finds. The button terminalled rings were used as head jewelry, bracelet or ring. The crescent-shaped earrings are known from 15 sites, which can be ranked among two main groups. Brooches turned up from 11 sites. The earliest occurrence had the button terminalled rings, which could have already appeared in graves in the middle of the 10th century The earrings could have appeared in graves from the 980/990’s as well, while the brooches can be dated from the turn of the millennium. We can notice a certain site concentration on the northern shore of Balaton, on the territory of Győr, Moson, Sopron, Vas, Baranya and Heves counties. Regarding both the way of wear and the combination of certain object types, eastern Alpine parallels can be detected.
