Book Description
The third volume of the Corpus of Celtic Finds in Hungary contains the finds that came to light between l945 and l979 in Pest, Ngrd, Heves and Borsod-Abaj-Zempln counties, and are housed in regional museums. The author directed the excavations in the cemeteries of Vc, Muhi, Bodroghalom, Kistokaj and Radostyn. A brief glance at the artifacts of several hundred years of Celtic occupation reveals that a small group of the Celtic warriors crossed the Danube in the later 4th century BC and slowly moved eastward. Finds from the Early Iron Age to the Roman period were excavated in the area of the River Danube. The influence of the surviving local population can be felt more strongly in more easterly areas, and can be demonstrated in the everyday tools and implements of the Celts, as well as their spiritual life and ritual practice.
