“FEUDVAR” ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE – Mošorin

Situated at a crossroads, the area of Mošorin Hill has been inhabited since ancient times, as evidenced by preserved remains from prehistoric periods and cultures. The archaeological site of Feudvar is contemporaneous with Mycenaean culture and was studied by Serbian and German experts in the 20th century. Based on this rich site, it is known that its inhabitants were renowned food producers who traded their goods for copper and stone brought from the Carpathians, as well as for gold and artworks arriving from Mycenae. It has been established that the site belonged to an autochthonous pre-Celtic population, with the Stubarlija necropolis. For a long time, and with good reason, researchers have also investigated traces of the burial remains of Attila, the leader of the Huns, who died suddenly during a campaign in Europe and was buried, according to historical accounts, on an elevation near a riverbed—today identified with the Tisa River. Even today, on the slopes of the hill, there is an active archaeological site with abundant remains, including jars, bones, weapons, jewelry, and hair accessories. The oldest written records about the area around Mošorin date back nearly two millennia, while the name of the settlement has been known for just over nine centuries. Human settlements existed at the site of present-day Mošorin from very early times, inhabited by Romans, Avars, Slavs, Hungarians, and Tatars. On the northern slope of Titel Hill, an ancient settlement was discovered where fragments of pottery were found, clearly indicating an archaeological site—something the Mošorin area does not lack. Based on initial assumptions, it was later confirmed that these were remains of a settlement of the Sarmatians, who lived in this region during Roman rule, dating from the 3rd to the 5th century AD. Two houses with hearths and pottery remains were uncovered, along with a femur belonging to a strongly built individual, suggesting that at least one grave had been disturbed during excavation.
