For this reason, in 2011, I initiated the study of a special Middle Bronze Age (Gyulavars\u00e1nd) site in B\u00e9k\u00e9s County. Ceramics from surface collection indicate two areas of prehistoric cultural debris. The larger one (Area A) is high with faunal material and no human bone. The smaller one (primarily Area B) has burned human bone on the surface, no faunal material, and close to exclusively Bronze Age ceramics. Geophysical survey\u00a0(magnetometry and ground-penetrating radar) began in all areas in October 2011 and excavation in Areas B and C has revealed Middle Bronze Age burials.

It is therefore possible that unlike its neighbors, this society was egalitarian, despite the large fortified tells, complex metallurgy and trade. Investigating community norms through burial practices permits seeing whether inequalities in wealth were tolerated, and understand how this region integrated regional population and craft production without hierarchical control.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The K\u00f6r\u00f6s region is the only one of the three in my comparison\u00a0without detailed information about Bronze Age funerary customs.
