RÉGÉSZET - Viktor Wéber: Settlement of the Early Urnfield period at Majs–Borza-major (Southern Transdanubia, Hungary)
A Janus Pannonius Múzeum Évkönyve ( 2017 ) 192 first issue to be attended should be the names of the sites in question. ?e excavator, L. Papp referred to the site of the features excavated in 1966 simply as Majs in his preliminary report ( Papp 1967). In her study of the Late Bronze Age of Baranya County, B. Maráz referred to the site as Majs–Merse-dűlő, but in the register of sites in the study, the same site was referred to as Majs– Malomárok-Borzazug, while the site of a grave excavated in 1969 was listed as Majs–Merse-dűlő ( Maráz 1979: 131., 156.). In the site catalogue of his monograph on the Transdanubian Urnfield culture, F. Kőszegi referred to the site of the electrical resistance survey performed in 1961 as Majs–MalomárokBorzazug, to the site of the 1966 excavation as Majs–Borza-major and to the site of the grave excavated in 1969 as Majs–Merse-dűlő ( Kőszegi 1988: 159.). Due to the inconsistency in the name of the site in the aforementioned studies, C. Metzner-Nebelsick, in her monograph on the Urnfield and Hallstatt period of South-Eastern Transdanubia, featured the site of the 1966 excavation twice, first as Majs–Borza-major a?er Kőszegi, and then as Majs–Merse-dűlő a?er Maráz ( Metzner-Nebelsick 2002: 721.). ?is study primarily focuses on the features excavated in 1966, the site of which will be referred to as Majs–Borza-major. Majs–Merse-dűlő is the site of the grave that was excavated actually in 1962, not in 1969, by A. Kiss 1 , while the sites discovered by the electrical resistance survey and partially excavated in 1961 will be referred to as Majs–Malomárok-Borzazug. History of research In 1961, a surface of 5400 m 2 , the site of Majs–Malomárok-Borzazug was investigated by electrical resistance survey (Fig. 1/ 1), during which traces of a settlement were found at four points in the north-western part of the area. During the probing of these features, unidentifiable prehistoric pottery sherds and pieces of daub were recovered. ?e area of the research was extended to the north with an additional 7000 m 2 , which was investigated systematically with test trenches. ?is area was scattered with pottery sherds of the Lengyel and Urnfield cultures. To the east from the extension of the research area, in the distance of about 400 m, two Late Bronze Age cremation burials (Fig. 4/ 1–3) were also excavated ( Papp 1962: 217–218.). 2 In 1966, four areas were investigated by test trenches. In Area 1, two kilns of the Árpádian period were found, Area 2 yielded no finds, while in Area 4, four 1 Documentation registered under number 1168/83 in the data repository of the Janus Pannonius Museum of Pécs. 2 ?e documentation of the electrical resistance survey conveyed at the site of Majs–Malomárok-Borzazug cannot be found in the data repository of the Janus Pannonius Museum of Pécs.
