My main research areas include the archaeology of the Copper Age in the Carpathian Basin. I primarily deal with the Early and Middle Copper Age. I study Copper Age communities' social life using a multidisciplinary, multiscalar approach, focusing on the local unit, sites and then expanding to the micro-regional and regional level. In this complex approach, I comprehensively evaluate the various archaeological data (burials, settlements, material culture) from which we can reconstruct the Copper Age communities' social relations.

Radiocarbon dating, calibration of radiocarbon data, and Bayesian modelling are regularly used in my archaeological research. By Bayesian modelling of series of radiocarbon measurements, we can achieve significantly higher precision, estimating the span, beginning, and end of the use of a site. With this interpretative framework, other archaeological information, e.g., vertical stratigraphy can also be involved in the dating. This method is now successfully used to date historical periods as well.

My research focuses on the social archaeology of the Neolithic and Copper Age of the Carpathian Basin. With a comprehensive analysis of the archaeological finds, I examine what kind of social relations can be reconstructed among the members of Neolithic and Copper Age communities. This diverse research area includes the study of burials, social inequality, rank, prestige goods, and gender. The Neolithic and Copper Age's essential prestige goods in the Carpathian Basin were made of Spondylus or copper, so their comprehensive, interdisciplinary research is the focus of my research interest.
