The füzesabony-gubakút settlement development model of the alföld linear pottery culture in the light of the recent archaeological discoveries at hejőpapiszeméttelep (2008-2011) and bükkábrány-bánya vii -vasúti dűlő (2009-2011) Abstract Thanks to the extensive excavations that have been going on since the mid 1990s, archaeological research has managed to gain a greater insight into the settlement history of the ALPC.

Even so it is possible to draw serious conclusions from the data we already have.
