Abstract

After mound survey works in Csongrád county, the East Csanád region (Csanádi-hát) and Central Békés (Békési-hát) we continue the surveying in the Nagy-Sárrét region belonging to the Körös-Maros National Park Directorate. We were surveying mounds in 9 settlements between 2009 and 2011 (sum total 1195 km2). During the research we used handmade and printed maps from the 18–20th centuries, source works, scripts from archives and special literature of regional history, archeology, onomatology and natural science. We registered altogether 540 mounds. 207 of them have names (38.3%) and 333 mounds have not (61.7%). We elaborated a scale with seven grade to rating mounds, because we needed an order of rank to start conservating the most important mounds. The important mounds make up the category of 1, 2 or 3, the unimportants make up the category of 4 or 5, and the disappeared mounds make up the category of 6 or 0. The number of important mounds (category 1–3) is 127 (23.5%), the number of unimportants (category 4–5) is 264 (48.9%) and the number of distroyed mounds (category 6 and 0) is 149 (27.6%). The practical conservation work is very urgent, because most of the small mounds will disappear undoubtedly within 5-15 years due to the weighty agricultural machines and the extensive agricultural work, so we must stop the cultivation on the mounds as soon as possible.
