ern Slovakia,171 and Transylvania.172 This territorial difference also reflects a
chronological division, since all of the Transdanubian and Transylvanian
artefacts are dated to the Early phase, while the spearheads of Southwestern
Slovakia belong to the Late phase. The chronological position of the spear-
heads from Tiszafüred are exceptional since most of them are dated to the
Middle phase except for one example which is dated to the beginning of the
8th century.173
Their chronological distribution is also even, and according to their burial
context they were in use during the Early (six examples from Transdanubia
and Transylvania),174 Middle (three examples from the Great Hungarian Plain:
all from the Tiszafüred cemetery)175 and Late phases (eight examples from
Southwestern Slovakia and Great Hungarian Plain).176
