Stag appliqué - Catalog No. 101
No full textBased on the apparent similarity to the stag-shaped appliqué from Zöldhalompuszta (Catalog No. 100), the electrum appliqué from Tápiószentmárton might have belonged to a person of exceptional social status. It is possible that the object was found in a tumulus, but its precise find location and context are unknown. At the time of discovery, the object was rolled up and therefore could not have served its original function, presumably as the decoration of a quiver. Like the Zöldhalompuszta gold stag, this object may have been manufactured in one of the workshops of the Greek colonies in the northern Black Sea region, as it is in accordance with the aesthetics of the Scythian elite.

Bird-shaped lamp - Catalog No. 69
No full textThis exceptional object was acquired by the Hungarian National Museum at the end of the nineteenth century. Based on its stylistic analogies, it was most likely manufactured in Slovakia or northeastern Hungary. The artifact has a hollow body and attached loops for hanging, and it was cast using the lost-wax technique, a technology which is most appropriate for producing objects with complex geometry. There are only two close parallels to this find: the Čičarovce bronze bird with bull horns and a recently discovered object from Liptovský Hrádok, both from Slovakia. New scientific analysis on the latter suggests that these artifacts were used as fat-powered lamps in ritual contexts.

Altar - Catalog No. 5
No full textThe Neolithic farming communities of the Carpathian Basin produced elaborate ceramics with incised and painted decorations, including objects of special purpose, probably conveying sacral messages. One of the most spectacular examples of these objects is this ceramic altar. The manufacturer placed stylized ram heads on the four corners and engraved spiral and meander patterns on the sides. It is likely that the vessel was not intended for everyday purposes but was utilized during rituals.

Cuirass - Catalog No. 49
No full textThis two-part cuirass was allegedly found in the Danube River and was purchased from a private collector in 1982. The breast plate depicts a stylized male body, and was made by embossing and using the so-called ‘repoussé’ technique. According to the Hungarian classification, the artifact belongs to the eastern Alpine–Carpathian cuirass group. Presumably influenced by Greek workshops, it was made for a warrior in the Danube region and its deposition in the river may have occurred for ritual or ceremonial reasons.

Helmet - Catalog No. 48
No full textThis bronze helmet was part of an elite warrior hoard deposited in a large ceramic vessel. It was placed in a situla (bucket-shaped vessel), covered with a cauldron, along with two arm spirals. The helmet’s body was embossed from a flat disc, and cast-on technology was used to produce the knob. It is a thick and quite efficient piece of armor that was fixed onto an organic padding with rivets. A total of fifteen similar objects have been recovered mainly from their presumed production center in the northeastern Carpathian Basin.

Stag appliqué - Catalog No. 100
No full textThis golden appliqué came from the burial mound of a member of the Iron Age elite of the eastern Carpathian Basin. In terms of style and design, the best analogies for the object are from the tombs of Scythian rulers recovered beneath large burial mounds in the Pontic steppe and the Kuban region. These analogies, possibly produced in Greek colonies, such as Olbia on the Black Sea coast in eastern Ukraine, suggest that this appliqué, perhaps of a similar origin, was attached to a quiver, or less likely a shield, and served as a status symbol. The close resemblance between the gold stags from the Pontic steppe and the Carpathian Basin signifies the strong ties maintained by the elites of these remote regions.

Oral History Archive
No full textStarted in March 2021, the Oral History Project came from our desire to learn about what it was like advocating for incarcerated clients during such a terrible time in U.S. prisons and jails, as well as hear from advocates about the experience of their clients. We wanted to collect these stories as a way to create a record of this work for researchers, reporters, and other interested people, as well as to create a learning resource for future advocates who might face similar constraints. This collection of interviews with attorneys and others who advocated on behalf of their incarcerated clients allows us to hear firsthand accounts of what it was like to do this work during the pandemic
