On the top, the main characteristics of burial customs in the early to middle and the middle to late Avar period in the Rákóczifalva (RK) cemetery. In the early phase, several people were buried with horse tools, pots, and animal skin (partial animal), while in the late phase, wooden grave structures were the dominant feature of burial customs. The changes in burial customs correspond to the community shift and the spatial organization of the cemetery. On the bottom, the cemetery map shows the distribution of early, middle and late Avar-period graves. The left part of the cemetery is where early to middle Avar period graves are found, while the middle and right part contain predominantly middle to late Avar-period graves.
