Cserszegtomaj (German: Thomey ) is a Hungarian municipality in Zala County . It has 2765 inhabitants (as of 2011).
Geographical location
The place Czerszegtomaj has an area of 12.6 square kilometers and is located between Keszthely and Rezi , in the northwestern Balaton region , within the small area Hévíz . The Keszthely mountains are in the northeast. Cserszegtomaj is 4 km from Lake Balaton and 3 km from the Hévíz Spa .
Surname
The municipality consists of two centers, Cserszeg and Tomaj. The place was first mentioned in documents as Tomaj in 1357. In 1846 the places were united to Cserszegtomaj. Cser means turkey and szeg pen. Tomaj is a tribe that settled here.
Latène Age burial ground
This site is on the Biked summit of the Keszthely Mountains, not far from the Keszthely-Dobogó burial ground . In the 1930s, gravel mining disrupted various graves, including some from the Latène period. The first excavation was carried out in 1939, which uncovered women's burials from the Latène period and Late Bronze Age (around 1000 BC) urn graves.
A grave from the Frühlatène (LTB I, 380-250 v. Chr.) Was aligned in South East Northwest and had the extent of 275 x 130 cm with a depth of 175 cm. The original wooden lining was still discolored. Although the grave had been disrupted at the time, the grave goods were still in the right place ( in situ ). These additions were a torc (choker), arm rings, a pair of leg rings, three brooches made of iron, five made of bronze , some bronze amulets and a clay vessel with stamp decoration . The torques, the arm rings and the bronze brooches probably come from a local workshop, one of the brooches is almost certainly to be regarded as an import from the Swiss plateau or western Switzerland.
Further excavations took place between 1946 and 1948. The exact location of a pair of three hump rings can no longer be determined. Only a few objects survived the destruction during the Second World War (a saddle ring fragment and the pair of three hump rings); they are now in the Balatoni Museum in Keszthely.
