22 CSIKY Gergely In 93 burials (61,5 %) of the site the only weapon finds were the elements of archery. 107 The most important close-combat weapon was the spear which was found in 54 graves, 108 12 of them were horse-burial, 109 and 8 burials of men with horses, 110 34 of them were male graves. 111 Only 7 graves contained an axe. 112 The swords can be regar<strong>de</strong>d as rare weapons, being represented only in 4 graves. 113 In 48 burials (27,9 %) of the cemetery only close-combat weapons were found. 114 Defensive weapons lamellar armor, chain-mail and umbos were found at the site, 9 graves contained elements of armor, 115 but 5 of them are surely amuletic, since no other element of armament was found there. 5 burials contained umbos 116 and two of them even contained hilts of shields, 117 in three cases only arrowheads were found with the shield, 118 but none of them was in combination with any close-combat weapons. (fig. 13.) 5. Concluding remarks Summarizing the above facts the proportion of the weapon burials among the male graves is unequal. The highest rate was shown by the Környe cemetery, while in other cases only one third of the male population was buried with weapons. Similar but somewhat higher rates can be observed in the case of the Gepidic cemeteries of the Hungarian Plain in the 6th century: the weapon graves normally represented there the 50-60 % of the adult male burials. 119 (Fig. 14) 107 Grave Nr. 17, 21, 38, 45, 47, 141, 172, 179, 180, 218, 219, 271, 289, 291, 313, 314, 316, 326, 331, 334, 342, 384, 389, 424, 440, 447, 451, 453, 463, 479, 490, 495, 496, 497, 510, 522, 545, 560, 575, 580, 598, 600, 615, 621, 626, 660, 662, 665, 673, 688, 698, 751, 762, 794, 800, 808, 820, 831, 887, 892, 893, 896, 917, 939, 942, 953, 972, 1000, 1056, 1060, 1066, 1080, 1124, 1129, 1149, 1160, 1189, 1192, 1248, 1253, 1279, 1284, 1295, 1296, 1305, 1317, 1343, 1363, 1384, 1385, 1400, 1437. 108 Grave Nr. 1, 19, 22, 55, 68, 73, 85, 93, 200, 223, 245, 260, 281, 299, 341, 432, 437, 452, 468, 480, 529, 540, 551, 577, 666, 670, 680, 689, 696, 705, 710, 715, 719, 728, 778, 832, 851, 930, 993, 1003, 1024, 1047, 1077, 1096, 1156, 1158, 1162, 1177, 1225, 1235, 1271, 1300, 1330, 1338, 1380, 109 22,22% of the burials with spear.

Armament and Society in the Mirror of the Avar Archaelogy It is interesting to observe that the rate of the burials furnished exclusively with elements of archery is relatively high, and in the case of Szekszárd-Bogyiszlói út and Budakalász-Dunapart the dominance of the distant-combat weapons is evi<strong>de</strong>nt. The rate of burials with close-combat weapons is relatively high in Környe and Kölked, but still low comparatively to the Merovingian cemeteries of Germany where the burials with elements of close-combat weapons are dominating with 68,5 %. 120 (Fig. 15) The most important close-combat weapon is the spear in these cemeteries, however most of these weapons were found in horse-burials and this kind of <strong>de</strong>position is unknown from the Merovingian cemeteries, but known from Gepidic ones. 121 The combinations with shields is very interesting in the early Avar cemeteries of Transdanubia, since in some cemeteries such as Szekszárd and Budakalász they were only found in combination with arrowheads or without any other weapon. This is not typical for the Germanic cemeteries of the period while in the cemeteries of Kölked and Környe the combinations are characteristic for their western equivalents. The characteristic weapon-combinations for the Merovingian cemeteries can be found only in Kölked and in Környe, although in the latter one the <strong>de</strong>position of spears is equivalent to the Early avar rite. The composition of weapons in Szekszárd, Budakalász and Csákberény is much more connected to the find-material of other areas of the Avar Khaganate. To conclu<strong>de</strong>, the abovementioned early Avar cemeteries of Transdanubia are characterized by the relatively high number of close-combat weapons compared to other sites of the Avar Khaganate. However, comparing to Merovingian sites the burials containing only close-combat weapons are very low and in most of the cases the weapon-combinations characteristic to this culture is missing. Transdanubia can be seen as a bridge between the Nomadic Avaria and the Germanic Merovingian world, characteristics of both can be observed, and however it belongs to neither of them. This region composes an interesting cultural mixture both using Western and Eastern elements and combining it in a unique manner even in the field of warfare. 48 % (of the male burials), Szőreg-Téglagyár 49 %. The average rate of the weapon-burials among the male burials is 44 % in Gepidic cemeteries. 120 Reiß 2007, p. 223. 121 Törökszentmiklós–Batthyányi utca 54/A, Grave A (Cseh 2005, pp. 43–44.) 23
