Die Strassenstation von Nemescsó an der Bernsteinstrasse
The Road Station of Nemescsó on the Amber Road

Summary/Abstract: Geophysical prospecting and surveys carried out in 2009–2010 in Nemescsó (County Vas, Hungary) revealed evidence of a structure with stone foundation walls located along the Amber Road, which can be interpreted as a road station. This building, with partially roofed court and corner risalits, can be directly compared with the street station at Sorokpolány. Both stations are located at a distance of 12.6 km (or 8.5 Roman miles) from Savaria/Szombathely along the Amber Road, with Nemescsó in the north of the Colonia and Sorokpolány in the south. Based on the find materials from the surveys, it can be tentatively suggested that the most intensive usage of the street station at Nemescsó took place during a time period between 160/180–250/270 A.D.
