Abstract

The Solt-Tételhegy site, lying in one of the most remarkable environments of the Great Hungarian Plain, has recently come into the focus of research. Situated in an excellent, well defensible strategic location by major routes, the settlement lay in the midst of a former marshland. The finds collected on the monadnock, the series of aerial photographs, and the finds and features brought to light during the excavations suggest that the site had functioned as a major administrative centre in the Carpathian Basin during several periods. Described here will be the construction of the GIS database for the Castrum Tetel Project and the preliminary findings of the first three excavation seasons (2005–2007).
