Keszthely culture

Archaeological remains of the Keszthely culture.

The Keszthely culture was a mixed Romanised population[1][2]-Germanic-Avar, Christian enclave located in present-day Hungary, from the 6th century until the first half of the 7th century. These people could be found near the northern part of Lake Balaton and around Keszthely in a roughly 30 km area.[3][4][5][6] The culture had faded out by the 7th century.[3][4]

Many people of this culture were craftsmen, abducted[7] or invited to that region in the mid-6th century by the Avars. These settlers, or slaves, came from the Balkans, Dalmatia, the eastern Alpine region and the Germanic lands.[3]
