Régész

Régész is a Hungarian word that translates to "archaeologist" in English. An archaeologist is a scientist who studies human history and prehistory through the excavation of sites and the analysis of artifacts and other physical remains. This field involves a broad range of activities, from fieldwork and excavation to laboratory analysis, conservation, and interpretation of findings. Hungarian archaeologists, or régész as they are known in their native language, contribute to the understanding of Hungary's rich and complex past, which spans from ancient settlements and Roman ruins to medieval castles and more recent historical periods. The work of a régész often involves meticulous documentation and careful recovery of objects to preserve them for future study and public display. These professionals play a crucial role in uncovering and interpreting the material culture left behind by past societies, shedding light on their daily lives, beliefs, and societal structures.
