Abstract

In 2009, the Janus Pannonius Museum in Pécs renewed the archaeological research of the Battle of Mohács (1526) with outside partners (Bertók et al. 2020, 107–118). The goals of the initiative have been to identify the exact location of the historic clashes, reconstruct the chain of the related events, and conduct a scientific analysis of the final resting place of the soldiers who fell on the battlefield. We planned to complete the project by the upcoming 500th anniversary of the battle. In our hopes, this research has enabled an expansion of the current national memorial site where the remains of the heroes who sacrified their lives to protect their Hungarian homeland could finally be laid to rest. The project has provided us with a fitting opportunity to summarize previous work and present the findings of the archaeological excavations conducted in 2020–2021.
