The Wosinsky Mór County Museum presents finds from the excavations at the suburbs of Szekszárd from the past decades.

The exhibition will be available to visit for a year, entitled This Map is No Scenery showing works discovered in the period 2006 to 2015. During the research work bout five thousand objects were unearth in five acres of land of which half thousand objects will be on display.

Among the sites listed we can mention three sites of the pre-construction works at motorway M6 excavations,, including the the second largest site of Avar graves in the Carpathian Basin, a fortified, middle Copper Age settlement and an Avar settlement. Finds excavated at the industrial park area in Szekszárd finds will also be shown, the lime tipped tomb ceramics discovered in the site where the OBI store was built as well as Neolithic and Early Iron Age bowls and jewellery found before the downtown Szekszárd cemetery was expanded.

The excavations carried out at the cemetery downtown bought unexpected results from the Neolithic and Iron Age periods from. In the section of the cemetery that was excavated vessels used by Polish people that had not been known previously were unearthed, semi-stretched skeletal burial customs, according to the data gathered so far were rare in Late Neolithic society.

The result of excavations in King Béla Street yielded information on medieval city centres, as well as the exact location of the Benedictine monastery church from the 15th were in the 19th century the County Hall was built. It was proved that it was the burial place of major clerics . and not the grave of King Béla I.

Excavations carried out under the M6 motorway two grape seeds were unearthed from an Avar grave that were identified by archaeobotanical tests. The former existence of viniculture is also proven by the fact that it was preserved after the Roman Age for a long time. Unique and rare artefacts will also be featured in the exhibition, eg.g Ottoman Shiite prayer seal discovered in Bezerédj Street, or an inlayed, Avar iron chair.

The exhibition - the centre of which excavation sites are shown on large maps - is trying to direct attention of the sites rich in finds in the suburbs of Szekszárd.

We also show you how archaeologists document, how a find becomes an exhibit and how archaeology is aided by DNA tests, lithological and radiocarbon dating.
