Abstract
More than three hundred agricultural tools (mostly sickles) dated to the Avar period (567-822) were found dur-ing the excavations of the last 120 years, but only a few spades discovered in the territory were ruled by the Avars. The spades were not just agricultural tools, they were also used to built different kinds of earthworks, such as graves, or construction of dwelling houses and fortifications. The new finds point out that, in the latter times ( for example in the Arpadian Age) popular wooden spades with iron edges were used besides the uniqe designed spades made fully from iron. These well-dated „spade irons” are the newer evidences of the tool-continuity between the Avar and Arpadian Period farming implements.
