Tiara with gold - sheets, pearl necklaces, neck- and bracelets, swords, a large, decorated brooch (fibula), Roman period grave stones, bronze statuette and Avar period goose eggs: these are only a few out of the nearly two hundred objects that will be exhibited for the 14th time in the BTM Aquincum Museum from the 15th April 2010. This time not only the nicest Prehistoric and Roman finds discovered last year will be exhibited here but also freshly excavated Medieval finds from the Budapest History Museum.

In spite of the economic crises, the Budapest History Museum managed to carry out nearly 40 preventive excavations and archaeological observations in connection to investments throughout the territory of Budapest in 2009.

Among others, the excavations of the southern section of the M0 motorway stand out with archaeological finds of nearly 4000 years: Bronze Age, Skythian, Avar, Sarmathian and Arpad Period graves and settlements were also found. The ongoing research on the Hajógyári Island revealed the remains of a Medieval manor with interesting finds. Ceramic vessels, jewellery were found during the excavation of the cemeteries of Roman Aquincum, these wil also be on show. Especially interesting will be the reconstructions of graves and costumes of the different periods and the Skythian double inhumation burial that was brought into the museum "in situ" and exhibited in gross.

The excavations carried out in 2009 demonstrate once again that there is always "something new under the ground": the archaeological heritage of Budapest is particularly rich and surprises await both researchers and visitors.
