Burials in the upper Tisa Basin attributed to the early slavs (ca. second half of the 6th century – first half of the 7th century)

Abstract

There are few flat cremation graves in the geographic area of the upper basin of the Tisa River which can be dated between the second half of the 6th century and the first half of the 7th century, and none of them are recent findings. The current article re-examines these graves and makes new observations in relation to their location, the internal topography of the graveyards (or smaller clusters of graves), the appearance of the graves and the scarce inventories, and, last but not least, their chronological placement.
