This U.S.-Hungarian archaeological research project involves William Parkinson and Richard Yerkes of Ohio State University and Attila Gyucha of the Munkacsy Mihaly Museum in Bekescsaba. Their intent is to examine socioeconomic organization and change that occurred during the late Neolithic to Early Copper Age period on the Great Hungarian Plain. The collaborative work involves excavations at two Early Copper Age settlements (Veszto 20 and Korosladany 14) located in the Koros River Valley. Results are expected to contribute to our basic understanding of social organization in "middle range" or "tribal" societies and to anthropological models for comparing development of pastoral economic systems. Together the Hungarian-U.S. team plans to explore the organization of specific sites within their local context to gain a regional framework for interpreting findings in the Carpathian Basin. Efforts at each site will feature: 1) size and spatial organization of settlement sites, 2) economic organization, 3) paleoenvironmental reconstruction, and 4) chronology and social interaction. The insights gained should add to a specific body of multi-disciplinary regional work that can be applied to models for trajectories of social change in the later prehistory of the Great Hungarian Plain. While regionally specific, the results of this research are also expected to help refine models for small-scale, semi-sedentary agricultural, autonomous village societies elsewhere in the world.This international archaeological research project fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling experts in the Untied States and Central Europe to combine complementary talents and share research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.

这个美国-匈牙利考古研究项目涉及俄亥俄州州立大学的威廉·帕金森和理查德·耶基斯以及贝克萨巴的蒙卡奇·米哈伊博物馆的阿提拉·吉乌查。 他们的目的是研究匈牙利大平原上新石器时代晚期至早期铜器时代期间发生的社会经济组织和变化。这项合作工作涉及位于科罗斯河谷的两个早期铜器时代定居点（Veszto 20和Korosladany 14）的挖掘。结果预计将有助于我们的基本理解的社会组织在“中档”或“部落”的社会和人类学模型比较发展的畜牧业经济系统。匈牙利-美国团队计划在当地环境中探索特定地点的组织，以获得解释喀尔巴阡盆地发现的区域框架。 每个遗址的工作将具有以下功能：1）定居点的规模和空间组织，2）经济组织，3）古环境重建，4）年代和社会互动。所获得的见解应该添加到一个特定的机构的多学科的区域工作，可以应用到模型的社会变革的轨迹在后来的史前大匈牙利平原。虽然具有区域特定性，但这项研究的结果也有望帮助完善小规模、半定居农业的模型，这个国际考古研究项目实现了促进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和中欧的专家能够在相互感兴趣的领域联合收割机互补人才和共享研究资源，能力。
