Spätbronzezeitliches Gräberfeld von Sárbogárd-Tringer-Tanya (Komitat Fejér) in Ost-Transdanubien
Late Bronze Age cemetery of Sárbogárd-Tringer-Tanya (Fejér county) in eastern Transdanubia

Summary/Abstract: 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.
