32 GYÖRGY LENGYEL 3.3. Lithic refittings The lithic assemblage of Ságvár has undergone a systematic refitting analysis for breakage surfaces and removal negatives. In the following paragraphs a refitted unit means when at least two pieces of stone fit together, either at their breakage surfaces or with their knapping scars.. Lithic material of the excavations prior to World War II yielded 14 refitted units from four excavation seasons, 1930, 1935, 1936 and 1941. The 1941 trench yielded refits only from the upper layer, while the items of the 1936 trench solely derive from the garbage heap of the lower layer. The trench of 1936 has the most refitting connections with other trenches. There are two refitted units between the upper layer of the 1941 excavation and the lower layer of the 1936 excavation. 1930 1936 in situ removed sediment of block IV lower layer of 1936 excavation 1930 3 2 2 1935 1 1936 2 2 1941 1 1 Table 1.

Artifacts in the refitting derive from four locations of the excavation (Fig. 3.). The first is generally the upper layer. This means that these finds may derive either from trench I or trench II. The second location is trench I square II/

Surprisingly, the second largest number of refitted units (25 units) consists of artifacts from the lower and the upper layers. Between the upper layer and trench I square 1

While the exact origin of most of the upper layer artifacts of 1957-1959 excavation is unknown, it is known from the archives that most of the finds were found
