A Middle Copper Age hunters' camp at Hajdúböszörmény-Ficsori-tó-dűlő, northeastern Hungary
The paper presents a complex study of a Hunyadihalom culture site consisting of 17 features excavated in 2005 at Hajdúböszörmény-Ficsori-tó-dűlő. The analyses of pottery vessels, chipped stone tools, animal bones, and the radiocarbon dating of the site all suggest that it served as a short-lived settlement for a hunting community, who also processed the animals on-site
Technical advantages bridging the preservation limits of painted decoration of Neolithic ceramic figurines
Painting on ceramic objects is one of the most outstanding features of visual narration of the Neolithic material culture in Southeastern and partly in Central Europe. Unfortunately, post-firing painting is usually poorly preserved due to deposition conditions. Moreover, it may have been damaged or contaminated during post-excavation and conservation processes in the past. This project studies how new methods of pigment traces visual detection br…
Etched in Stone
The origin and authenticity of artifacts unearthed outside controlled archaeological excavations pose challenges for archaeologists, especially when they do not fit established patterns in the archaeological record. This article presents a detailed analysis of a stone stela discovered in non-professional circumstances on the Great Hungarian Plain. The stela’s engraved design, previously unknown in the regional archaeological record, closely resem…
A special find assemblage from the Neolithic of the Tisza region and its latest archaeological and archaeometric analysis
The settlement of Tiszaigar lies some 10 km south of Tiszafüred in the northern Hungarian Plain in eastern Hungary. A site known as Tiszaigar-Homokbánya extends over a roughly 250 × 150 m large area about 500 m south of the village, to the north of the entrance to the Arboretum, on the high bluff overlooking the floodplain and a former curved channel of the Tisza to the west. A large, abandoned quarry pit with a diameter of 100 m, whose depth rea…
Broken pots, unbroken habits? Traces of a special use activity related to pedestalled vessels in Starčevo and post-Starčevo communities
Individual or communal? Exploring the social dynamics of ceramic production at the Lengyel circular-enclosure site of Těšetice-Kyjovice – Sutny, South Moravia
The use of statistical tools in the reconstruction of pottery function. A case study from the Middle Copper Age Carpathian Basin
Exploring the limits of the provenience postulate
Determining the provenience of archaeological objects relies on the so-called "provenience postulate," namely, that sources of these objects are more compositionally distinct from each other than they are internally variable. For ceramics, it can be relatively straightforward in geologically heterogeneous environments to determine where vessels were produced, and whether they were traded or not. In geologically homogeneous regions, this can be fa…
Potters' technological choices in turbulent times
The Ugly Duckling
The present study focuses on an Early Copper Age (4500–4000/3900 cal BC) atypical ceramic bowl from Tiszagyenda-Vágott-halom (Eastern Hungary). At first glance, the bowl was strikingly different from the other well-executed, often richly decorated bowls known from the site. Although such vessels can be found sporadically in other Early Copper Age sites, they have never been studied to see exactly how they differ from typical pottery. The aim of t…

A Unique Megalithic find from the Great Hungarian Plain
Large, complex megalithic monuments erected in great numbers on the Atlantic coast and in northern Europe during the 4th‒2nd millennia BC have never been found in Hungary, and the architectural forms and decorative arts of passage and chamber tombs, dolmens, stone circles, and menhirs have not been linked to the archaeological heritage of the Carpathian Basin. This is what renders a stone stele, with engravings evoking some megaliths in western E…
Egy különleges megalitikus lelet az Alföldről
Magyarország területéről eddig nem kerültek elő olyan, a megalitikus kultúrkörhöz tartozó, nagy méretű, összetett struktúrájú, kőből készült építmények, amelyeket nagy számban emeltek az Atlanti-óceán partvidékén és Észak-Európában a Kr. e. 4‒2. évezredben. A folyosós és kamrás sírok, dolmenek, kőkörök és magányosan álló sztélék világának építészeti és díszítőművészete a Kárpát-medence régészeti örökségéhez eddig nem volt köthető. Ezért is különl…
Message in a bottle
In the southern part of the Great Hungarian Plain, at Orosháza, excavations were carried out on both sides of a former river between 2004 and 2006. In this study we focus on the ceramic material of the Árpádian Age settlement, in particular ceramic bottles, which are common here but at other Árpádian Age settlements appear rarely. The stylistic features of bottles and their analogies indicate that the community that lived here had a complex socia…

The Hungarian Archaeology Database
In Hungary certain site documents, such as Preliminary Archaeological Documentation (PAD), 30-day report and 1-year report, have to be submitted to centralised institutions. The content and format of these documents are regulated, facilitating their digital archiving and accessibility. However, further documents (inventories, databases, scientific assessments, interdisciplinary analysis, photos, drawings, etc.), which are mainly created by the mu…

A Vessel of the Funnel Beaker Culture at Salgótarján-Pécs-Kő
This study describes and discusses an old find from a wholly new perspective. The non-local fragment or fragments represent imports or imitations that can be linked to the Funnel Beaker culture and not to Kostolác, Coţofeni, Livezile or Bošáca as originally suggested by József Korek. The hallmarks distinctive to the culture are the ornamented rim exterior and rim interior, the zigzag motif under the rim and the ladder motif on the belly. However,…

Petrological Analysis of Late Neolithic Ceramics from the Tell Settlement of Gorzsa (South-East Hungary)
Technology is usually defined as the processes and practices associated with production and consumption, from design to discard; hence, pottery use is a part of complex social interactions that constitute technological systems. The functional analysis comprises several different lines of investigation. This chapter is focused on the intended function of the Early (Starcevo) and Late Neolithic (Vinca) pottery. By examining formal properties (fabri…

Scythian Age settlement near Nagytarcsa
This paper deals with the archaeological material of a Scythian Age settlement excavated near Nagytarcsa in 2007. Located on the higher terrace of a stream, the site represents a characteristic lowland, hamlet-like settlement of the Vekerzug culture, where animal husbandry played an important role in subsistence. Based on diagnostic ceramic finds and radiocarbon dating the settlement can be assigned to the Ha D2 period. The archaeological descrip…

Bronze Age Ceramic Economy
We describe the Bronze Age ceramic economy of the Benta Valley in Hungary. In the Bronze Age, long-distance trade in metals, metal objects, and other specialty items became central to expansive prestige goods exchange through Europe. Was that exchange in wealth, however, linked to broader developments of an integrated market system? The beginnings of market systems in prehistory are poorly understood. We suggest a means to investigate marketing b…

Lengyeli eredetű hatások az Alföld kései neolitikumában. Pusztataskony-Ledence 1. feltárásának első eredményei. Appendix
An uncommon vessel was found in one of the graves on a settlement of the Tisza culture at Pusztataskony-Ledence 1, near Kisköre-Gát. The present study traces the cultural and chronological connections of the find, and attempts, by a comparative analysis of distinct elements of the site’s burial rite, to determine the character of the cultural effects expressed through them. A petrographic analysis of ceramic samples collected from the material of…
