2015 nyarán Csepel-Szabadkikötő területén a BTM munkatársai két, 10–11. századra keltezhető temetőrészlet 143 sírját tárták fel. A temetők leletanyaga, temetkezési és viseleti szokásai értékes információkkal gazdagították a korszakról alkotott ismereteinket. A tanulmány a temetők 20 kerámia- (étel)mellékletes sírját, illetve edényeit elemzi, értve ez alatt azok tartalmát is.

The Budapest History Museum conducted excavations in the summer of 2015 in Budapest, district 21, in the Csepel-Szabadkikötő area. The site is located in the historical village of Csepel-Ófalu, in the vicinity of an Árpád Age royal manor house site. A total of 143 burials were uncovered in two separate cemeteries amongst which, 20 of them were graves containing pottery associated with food offerings. The analysis of the vessels (material, form and decoration), their position within graves and the typology of other gravegoods resulted in some chronological observations. The vessels from the two cemeteries can be dated from the end of the 10th century to the end of the first third of the 11th century. This dating evidence supports the presence of coin offerings from the reign of Istvan I. in the cemetery, which was the new burial custom replacing the earlier food offerings. It is rarely possible to date vessels from the 10–11th century more precisely. Further investigations of these vessels proved the presence of food remains for the first time. From the analysed 18 samples, 11 contained different kinds of cereal based food offerings. The pottery typology from the graves and the analysis of the food remains inside these vessels made it possible for us to date the burials within almost half a century. The different kinds of cereal foods provides us with interesting additional information for further investigations of the pottery from this period.
