Abstract

The town of Baia Mare / Nagybánya was one of the important centers of silver and gold-mining, and coin-minting in medieval Hungary. The earliest written source which mentions the town dates back to the beginning of the 14th century, while the town-privileges were issued at the middle of the century. According to these charters, the community of the town enjoyed considerable liberties, and settled the taxation of gold mining and processing. The parish church of the town, dedicated to King St Stephan, was built around the middle of the 14th century, and it was extended and repaired several times during its existence, until the middle of the 19th century, when it was demolished. Its remains, along with two neighboring chapels, were uncovered during the archaeological excavations in 2012 to 2014. Around the three churches, more than 700 burials were discovered. They present the usual features of the churchyard cemeteries, being rather agglomerated, in most of the cases the later burials destroyed or, at least, disturbed the earlier ones. The paper presents several late medieval and early modern burials from the churchyard cemetery, and focuses on the grave-goods. A short overview of several parallel finds will be given, and they will be analysed together with the relevant iconographic and historical sources, and ethnographic observations.
