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.

美国和匈牙利的考古研究项目涉及俄亥俄州立大学的威廉·帕金森和理查德·耶克斯，以及贝基斯萨巴Munkacsy Mihaly博物馆的Attila Gyucha。他们的目的是研究新石器时代晚期到早期铜器时代在匈牙利大平原上发生的社会经济组织和变化。合作工作包括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。研究结果将有助于我们对“中等”或“部落”社会的社会组织的基本理解，并有助于建立比较牧区经济系统发展的人类学模型。匈牙利-美国团队计划共同探索在当地背景下特定地点的组织，以获得一个解释喀尔巴西安盆地发现的区域框架。每个地点的工作将包括：1)聚落地点的大小和空间组织，2)经济组织，3)古环境重建，以及4)年表和社会互动。所获得的洞察力应该会增加一个多学科区域工作的具体机构，可应用于匈牙利大平原史前后期社会变化轨迹的模型。虽然这项研究的结果是地区性的，但这项研究的结果也有望帮助完善世界其他地方小规模、半定居的农业自治村庄社会的模式。这一国际考古研究项目通过使美国和中欧的专家能够在相互感兴趣和能力很强的领域结合互补的人才和共享研究资源，实现了促进科学知识的计划目标。
