AD) sees a large number of titles of nobles and dignitaries appearing in the historical sources. Their rivalry indicates power struggles and probably decentralized structures. From an archaeological point of view there are, ironically, no known rich burials from the Late Avar period, although several opulently furnished burial finds are documented for the Early and Middle Avar period. Only the well-known treasure of Nagyszentmiklós/Sânnicolau Mare with 23 gold vessels refers to a corresponding prestige culture in the Late Avar period. Nevertheless, some phenomena, particularly in the use of certain motifs, might reflect the complex historical social and power structures for this period
Avars and Slavs Two Sides of a Belt Strap End — Avars on the North and South of the Khaganate, 2022

Most of them display animal combat scenes, griffons, or are decorated with floral scroll ornaments, but there are also more oustanding types like boar head-shaped strap ends or belt mounts bearing an emperor's portrait. Both are characterized by a quite temporal and regional character in their distribution. Recent investigations underlined here a possible ‘prestige chain network' of Late Avar elites in contrast to the simpler model of workshops. Regarding the historical recorded power struggles in the late 8th century, the following paper investigates these distinctive finds as possible social and political markers.

Nemesvölgy) played a quiet limited role in the discussion about social structures and societies, even for the northwestern part of the Carparthian Basin. This circumstance was also linked to the lack of publication of all graves. Based on this and the complete analyses of this cemetery the author wants to illustrate how important the burial community might have been in the social system of the Late Avar Khaganate. A special focus lies hereby on prominent items like gilded boar belts, buckles with the emperor's image or golden earrings and hair clips indicating wealth, communication, relations and links to the top social elites and presuming a high elaborated prestige chain network.

reconstructions have evolved from an illustrative complement of archaeological presentation to becoming a standard part of the interpretative process of archaeological data. VirtualArch has been engaged to develop the use of virtual reconstructions as an innovative visualisation tool. Ten partners from eight countries have come together in an EU-funded project (Interreg Central Europe), running from 2017 to 2020. The partnership is comprised of regional and national archaeological institutes and heritage offi ces, two universities/research institutions and also two local communities. Eight pilot sites have been selected across Central Europe. They form three main types; urban areas, mines and underwater sites. All have one thing in common; none are publicly accessible or visible. The aim of the project has been to
make all of these sites accessible and comprehensible through the use of virtual and augmented reality.

Das Projekt VirtualArch ist ein Versuch, überregionale Strategien und gemeinsame europäische Ansätze zu entwickeln.
