Abstract
Two graves, with altogether four skeletons, discovered near
Pecica and buried in W–E orientation, offer us the possibility of
a more nuanced analysis of the cultural realities of the groups
of people living in the Trans-Tisza region in the 6th and 7th centuries.
However, the amber and earring finds allow us to contemplate
communication networks in the early Avar Age and their
significant transformation by the late Avar period. Placing these
transformations in the first half of the 7th century, they explain
the appearance of some rare goods, like ambers, in the region
of Pecica.
