Summary: This study aims to explore the challenges and conflicts encountered by the recaptured territories of Hungary during the Great Turkish War, including military, financial, civil, and ecclesiastical administration. The research reveals that the Hungarian political elite had little influence during the war, resulting in slow progress in the revival of civil and ecclesiastical institutions under close control from the military and financial sectors. Additionally, the study highlights the contribution of the Great Turkish War to the outbreak of the War of Independence in Hungary.

Summary: This study presents the results of petrographic and geochemical analyses of pottery from a sixth-century cemetery in Szolad, Western Hungary. It reveals that the cemetery was used by a migrating group with diverse genetic background, and most of the pottery was locally produced. However, some pottery samples originated from outside the region. These findings suggest a strong attachment to local cultural traditions while also maintaining connections with other regions and cultural traditions.

Summary: This study represents the first application of Organic Residue Analysis (ORA) to southern African early farming pottery to gain a deeper understanding of past human behavior and subsistence patterns. The study found evidence of dairy processing and multi-purpose functionality of the ceramics. It also discovered potential medicinal use and the involvement of dung in pottery sealing and mending.

Summary: Chemical treatment of skeletal remains can reduce overall DNA quality and quantity but has no significant impact on stable isotope ratio analysis. Examination of treated and untreated human remains through histological and stable isotope analysis reveals that treated remains exhibit better preservation compared to untreated remains. Stable isotope ratio analysis is viable for both treated and untreated remains, regardless of their origin.

Summary: This paper presents the outcomes of a microcontextual geoarchaeological study conducted on earthen dwellings from the Early Iron Age village of Cerro de San Vicente. The study employed soil micromorphology, lipid biomarker analysis, XRD, and XRF analyses to investigate various aspects of the dwellings, including construction materials, site formation processes, and daily life practices. The results have shed light on the construction layers, floor use, maintenance, repaving, periods of abandonment and decay, and the presence of lipid biomarkers associated with dwelling functionality. The study significantly contributes to our understanding of ancient construction practices and the utilization of domestic spaces during the Early Iron Age.
