Ceramic pieces were found from the Bronze Age (1900–1800 BC) on the area of the Urasági-tag and the Szeder-völgyi-dűlő. On the 64 Erzsébet Street were found troves from the Vatyai Culture (1700–1400 BC).

A Celtic cemetery was dug out behind the strand, which is from the Iron Age (380–300 BC). Between the troves there are bracelets, fibulas, chiffons, a scabbard with sword, and chain.

During the third and the fourth century there was a Sarmatian village on the area of Csömör, both sides of the stream. During the explorations a Roman bowl (from the third century) and pottery were found.

Pieces of bowl were found on the area of the Réti-dűlős and Rétpótlék from the Avar age.
