In 1957, preliminary investigations revealed a major Late Neolithic
settlement mound, which also happened to be the northernmost tell
settlement on the Great Hungarian Plain. Although the trial was
limited to a small trench, the several meters thick deposits
yielded exciting finds and several richly furnished burials. The
brief preliminary report and the various references to the
excavation made it quite obvious that the tell was one of the key
sites of the Hungarian Neolithic and thus the full publication of
the tell and its finds was, quite understandably, eagerly awaited
by prehistorians. Investigations resumed in 1989 as part of the
excavations preceding the construction of the M3 motorway. This
excavation was preceded by various geophysical surveys and
palaeoenvironmental sampling in order to reconstruct the
settlement's one-time environment and to determine the exact date
of its occupation. However, until the results of the new excavation
are published in detail, this monograph will be the single
available study on the Polgar-Csoszhalom site, the eponymous site
of a Late Neolithic culture."
