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立大学的 William Parkinson 和 Richard Yerkes 以及 Bekescsaba 的 Munkacsy Mihaly 博物馆的 Attila Gyucha。 他们的目的是研究匈牙利大平原新石器时代晚期到铜器时代早期发生的社会经济组织和变化。这项合作工作涉及对位于科罗斯河谷的两个早期铜器时代定居点（Veszto 20 和 Korosladany 14）进行挖掘。研究结果预计将有助于我们对“中产阶级”或“部落”社会的社会组织的基本理解，以及用于比较畜牧经济体系发展的人类学模型。匈牙利和美国一起团队计划在当地背景下探索特定地点的组织，以获得解释喀尔巴阡盆地发现结果的区域框架。 每个地点的工作将包括：1）定居点的规模和空间组织，2）经济组织，3）古环境重建，以及4）年代和社会互动。所获得的见解应该添加到多学科区域工作的具体内容中，这些工作可以应用于匈牙利大平原史前晚期社会变迁轨迹的模型。虽然针对特定区域，但这项研究的结果预计也将有助于完善世界其他地方的小规模、半定居农业、自治村社会的模型。这个国际考古研究项目通过使美国和中欧的专家能够在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域结合互补人才并共享研究资源，实现了推进科学知识的计划目标。
