Márton Szilágyi (ORCID: 0000-0001-7556-8918) is a researcher at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary. He studied at the same institution and completed his PhD in 2016. Between 2016 and 2020, he worked at the University of Hamburg within the project “Chronology, Networks, Society: the Münchshöfen Culture at the Enclosure Site of Riedling, Lower Bavaria”.

His main research interests include the Late Neolithic and Copper Age of Central Europe and the use of pottery as a tool for communication and identity representation. He studies large pottery assemblages from settlements by combining a stylistic approach with statistical methods. He believes that pottery is perhaps the category of archaeological finds which most clearly bears the imprint of its makers and reflects their cultural traditions and the decisions they made.
