Abstract
Investigations of the settlement of Kakucs-Turján have applied a multi-disciplinary approach
to recognize the everyday reality of communities living in Early and Middle Bronze Age
Hungary. Field prospection and preliminary excavations allowed characterization of the
overall site parameters, while the subsequent excavation seasons provided evidence of
a complex settlement history wherein a major transition from behaviors producing a flat to
a multilayered site was identified as a major turning point. Analyses of material culture and
botanical remains point to stable lifestyles and subsistence practices across generations of
inhabitation of the settlement within which differential access to exotic resources and non-local
objects was part of the way of life. This paper provides a state-of-the-art overview summarizing
the main findings of the focal points of research at Kakucs-Turján.
