“The 7000-year-old hidden Treasures of our City for ” – a permanent archaeological exhibition

The archaeological finds that have been continuously discovered in Tiszafüred since the 19th century were first gathered by the Tiszafüred Archeological Society, led by Endre Tariczky. Seen the important artefacts, the National Museum and the János Damjanich Museum started scientific research and excavations in the region.

The construction and development of Lake Tisza was the greatest opportunity for research, as huge areas sink under water and the excavations had to be made quickly.  The preliminary exploration was carried out very quickly and professionally. years.

One of these great excavations was between 1965-69 at Tiszaörvény (called the Temple Hill) belonging to the outskirt of Tiszafüred. During the exploration of the nearly 25,000 m2 large medieval settlement, village houses, a stone-built church and a cemetery with 594 tombs were found, even the road leading to the medieval ferry is survived.

In the early 1980s, as a continuation of this excavation (Tiszafüred-Morotvapart), the remnants of the Neolithic, then Celtic, Sarmatian, Gepida, Avar and Árpád-settlements were found near the Tisza river, along with many valuable finds.

There were significant excavations in other external agricultural areas of Tiszafüred from 1964 to 1972, such as the Kenderföldek, the Fertő-heap, the Majoros-heap (with 1047 Bronze Age tombs), Ásotthalom, on which rich prehistoric, bronze and migrational artefacts were found. The legendary “Pénzásó Pista” is also known for its treasure hunt and amateur research.
