prehistoric eras. Excavations on the first half of the 20th century concentrated more on the research of the tumulus field. In the 1970s and 1980s, thanks to the efforts of Éva Vadász and Gábor Vékony a further tumulus, the fortified settlement of the Nagysánctető as well as most
parts of the Early Iron Age flat cemetery came to light. This study summarizes the results of the research conducted in the framework of the Iron-Age-Danube programme, which started in 2017. Beside aerial archaeology, geophysical surveys, field walkings and sediment drillings,
trial excavation also added precious new data on the diverse uses of the landscape by the communities inhabiting different parts of the plateau in several prehistoric eras (Early, Middle and Late Bronze Age, Early and Late Iron Age). On-site procedures were complemented by laboratory research (examination of ceramics, metal objects, bone and stone material, botanical remains), which contributed to our knowledge on the prehistoric use of natural resources in the area.

Modern landscape research began in 2008 with aerial photography, and from 2016, we regularly conduct magnetometer geophysicalresearch, drone photography and field walking surveys.
According to the geophysical surveys, there were significant ditches identifiable on the surface around each mound of the northeastern (D) and the southern (E) tumulus group, moreover, traces of smaller (15, 22 m) circular ditches were observed in both zones. However, based on 3D processing of drone orthophotography at the northeastern (D) tumulus group, these ditches are not detectable on the surface at all. As a result of complex field work, the size of the site complex is much larger than previously assumed, exceeding 80 hectares.

After a long history of research of the Early Iron Age fortified settlement, tumulus groups and flat cemetery,
between 2013–2017, some pioneer investigations were carried out using non-invasive methods. In 2018,
members of the Institute of Archaeological Sciences of the Eötvös Loránd University and the Archaeological
Heritage Protection Directorate of the Hungarian National Museum conducted an interdisciplinary research
project (archaeological excavation, geophysical measurements, metal detecting survey, systematic field
walking, geological drilling) on the plateau in the framework of the Interreg DTP Iron Age Danube project.
As a result of intensive research, it became clear that aside from the Early Iron Age necropolis, the eastern
part of the plateau was used as a burial site in the Early Bronze Age, as a settlement in the Late Bronze Age,
and we must consider the existence of a Late Iron Age settlement in this area as well.

The information gathered through aerial archaeological, ALS, geophysical, field survey and test excavation techniques as well as archaeobotanical analyses ultimately aims to reconstruct the former landscape, both in terms of 3D terrain, land cover and vegetation. However, the program is much more than a traditional research program: promotion of archaeology, broad presentation of results, involvement of local governments, public education and tourism institutions, schools in the zone of the concerned sites; moreover, initiation of cultural/tourism developments on the basis of results are all have a prominent role in the project. The leading institution of the program is the Joanneum in Graz, which, alongside the organization, also takes part in the research, public education and communication tasks.

earliest identied archaeological sites in Hungary. The rst map of the site was made in 1847; the number of
mounds registered at the time (123) did not change substantially until the end of the 20th century. The aerial
archaeological investigations, which began in 2001, and the magnetometer geophysical survey of 2012 led to
the identication of 103 ring ditches, which probably mark the location of formerly undocumented Early Iron
Age burials. The aim of the test excavations in 2013–2014 was to expose and date the newly identied, circular
phenomena at and near to Tumulus no. 64. In 2015–2016, at Tumulus no. 49, our goal was to unearth a heavily
damaged mound with a burial chamber, as it was indicated by the magnetometer geophysical surveys.

Az anyag mennyisége miatt először egy 60 objektumot magába foglaló teleprészlet került feldolgozásra, amelybe egy kihagyott teret körülvevő építmények, gödrök és tüzelőhelyek egy része esik. A feldolgozott terület fémanyagban igen szegény, a leletanyag többségét kerámiatöredékek teszik ki, valamint agyag-, kő-és csonteszközök, amelyek alapján a telep jól beilleszthető a dunántúli Ha C2–D1 korú telepek sorába. Az edények kapcsolatrendszere a Dunántúl kora vaskori lelőhelyei, valamint Kelet-Ausztria és a délkelet-alpi vidék felé mutat. A lelőhely méretével egyelőre kitűnik a Dél-Dunántúl kora vaskori lelőhelyei közül.
Prior to the construction of the M7 highway in Somogy County, excavations unearthed a part of a large scale Early Iron Age settlement on an extended surface at Balatonboglár-Berekre-dűlő in 1994–1995 and 2001–2003. Given the amount of the find material, a section of the settlement has been processed first, which contains an empty space surrounded with 60 features: pits, remains of buildings and furnaces, firing spots. The section is poor in metal finds; clay-, stone-and bone objects, tools are also present, but the majority of the find material consists of ceramic shards, which are dating the settlement mainly to the Ha C2–D1 period. The connections of the find material point in the direction of other sites from Transdanubia, Eastern Austria and the Southeastern-Alpine region. The flat settlement at present marks out with its size from the Early Iron Age sites of Southern Transdanubia.
