PhD project
Tradition and Practice – Study on Pottery, Chronology and Social Dynamics of the Hungarian Bronze Age
The Vatya culture, ever since its definition, has served as a basis for understanding cultural relations in the Hungarian Middle Bronze Age. The initial periodization scheme, established upon funerary materials, served as a basis for the identification and spatial differentiation of societies in the Carpathian Basin. However, it has become apparent that such a system is no longer valid, especially in terms of settlement finds. The basis for the Ph.D. dissertation will be the ceramic material recovered during the ongoing archaeological project in the Kakucs microregion, Central Hungary. As such the project aims at verifying the existing state of research by focusing on a multi-tiered analysis of pottery finds in relation to housing space. With the evaluation of the dynamics in the archaeological material it will become possible to investigate the changes since the Early Bronze Age up to the end of the Middle Bronze Age.
Research interests Material culture and its social meaning; Central Europe in the Bronze Age; Pottery analysis; Bronze metallurgy
