Summary/Abstract: The topic of the study is the description and complex analysis of the Ló-hegy site uncovered at Dunaföldvár in the spring of 2009. Features of the economic area of an Árpádian period village were uncovered during the excavation preceding the construction of highway M6. The metal and ceramic finds unearthed in the archaeological features date the settlement from the 12th– 13th centuries. The observations made during the excavation suggest that the village perished in consequence of the Mongol Invasion.
