For the 15th time, the Aquincum Museum (Budapest History Museum) is putting on show the nicest and most important archaeological finds from the previous year's excavation season. However, archeological research have been on-going for more than 120 years in the Capital city, continuously bring to light memories from the past. These finds help archaeologists understand the past of the city and its suburbs better.

The same exhibition in 2011 puts on show finds that enriched our knowledge, not only concerning parts of the long excavated historical towns but also about large areas in more peripheral districts of the town. The Painter's House, the southern town wall and an other part of the eastern cemetery (former Gas factory) came to light in and around the Aquincum Civil Town. A so far unknown watch-tower, part of the 4th century AD Pannonian defence system was also discovered. Excavation brought new results from the Prehistoric, Roman, Migration Period and Mediaeval settlement history of Budatétény, the Danube bank at Szigetszentmiklós or on Csúcshegy-Harsánylejtő.

The new results are represented by spectacular finds such as the shards from a 7000 year old faced-vessel and a clay statuette, Roman glass vessels, jewelry, brooches (fibulae) coins, oil lamps and two Mediaeval corollae (head ornament). Knowledge of past construction techniques and household activities provide information for reconstructions of Neolithic and Avar building remains found in District XXII, on Növény Street.

Another interesting find on show is the threshold mosaic from the Roman Proconsul's palace with braid-motifs that was found during the excavation of the palace in the middle of last century that was only finally conserved last year. Thus, it will go on exhibit again for the first time after 40 years!

In keeping with tradition, the museum will continue to present find material collected in 2011 on the history of Budapest in the "There is something new under the ground..." exhibition.
