This study reviews and discusses the archaeology of settlements in the territory of the Avar
Khaganate. These sites are located in the Carpathian Basin (present-day Hungary and adjacent
areas) and can be dated to c. the seventh to ninth centuries AD. Many of the known Avar-period
settlements are located at or in the immediate vicinity of former Roman sites. Considering the
nature of connections between settlements of these two periods is therefore a crucial aspect of
understanding Avar-period settlement dynamics. In order to address Avar-period settlements
at different scales, this article is divided into three main parts: settlement features, intra-site
perspectives, and inter-site models.
