Conflict archaeology is a young subdiscipline of Hungarian archaeological research. The Ministry of Defence Military History Institute and Museum has been conducting research on the battlefields of Mohács and Harsány mountain (AD 1526, 1687) since 2010. The methodology of the research is based on classical conflict archaeological methodology (landscape archaeology, non-destructive archaeological research, military terrain analysis). The area and the historical landscape of the first and the second battle of Mohács show similarities, at the same time the different amount of source material resulted different battlefield or landscape archaeological perspectives.
