RÉGÉSZET - Viktor Wéber: Settlement of the Early Urnfield period at Majs–Borza-major (Southern Transdanubia, Hungary)
Settlement of the Early Urnfield period at Majs–Borza-major 203 of Hungary: one from Szeged–Gyálarét, belonging to the Gáva culture and dated to the Ha A2-Ha B1 period ( V. Szabó 1996: 35., 47. kép 2.), one from Ordacsehi–Bugaszeg, dated to the Ha B1 period ( Polgár 2015: Abb. 11.), and one from Tamási–Várhegy-Frühwirth szőlő, dated by Kőszegi to his Phase V, the Pre-Scythian period ( Kőszegi 1988: 31–32., 38., 55., 13. t. 7., 55. t. 4.). Another, morphologically more distant, yet spatially the closest analogy is a sherd from Pécsvárad–Aranyhegy ( Dombay 1958: XXXVI. t. 18., Kőszegi 1988: 7. t. 26.). ?e excavator originally dated the settlement to the end of the Ha A and the beginning of the Ha B period ( Dombay 1958: 74–75.), later Kőszegi used Pécsvárad–Aranyhegy as one of the eponymous sites of the South-Transdanubian regional group of his Phase II and III, thus dating it to the Ha A1-A2 periods ( Kőszegi 1988: 31–32., 38). If we integrate the new finds from Croatia, Slovenia and Hungary into the distribution map of Velušček, we get a slightly different map (Fig. 2), with more emphasis on the northern and north-eastern regions of the original area of distribution. Since all of the finds that can be dated to the Early Urnfield period were found in sites of the Drava region, the possibility of an alternative area of origin of the handle type should be considered. Several parallels are known of the obliquely channelled handle (Fig. 14/ 4): Gaćište–Lanica ( Pavišić 1992: Taf. 6. 1.), Lengyel ( Patek 1968: Taf. LXXVI. 10.), Kalnik ( Vrdoljak 1994: t. 36.4.), Rogoza ( Črešnar 2010: 44., Fig. 21.R2j., t. 8.8.), and one sherd might be considered as one from Erdut ( Metzner-Nebelsick 2002: Taf. 103, 9.). According to M. Črešnar, the handle type can be dated to the Ha A1 period ( Črešnar 2010 : 72 .). 3.4. Bowls or cups with bands of vertical and horizontal grooved lines ?ree sherds of the assemblage are decorated by vertical grooves enclosed from the top by a band of horizontal grooves (Fig. 15/ 3–4; Fig. 16/ 1). ?e decoration is rather common in the Late Urnfield period, e.g. the Podoli ( Říhovský 1966, Říhovský 1982), Vál ( Patek 1958: 9. kép 3., Patek 1968: Taf. CIV. 6–7., Taf. CV. 7., Taf. CXX. 9., Taf. CXXIII. 2, 4, 7–8, 10., Taf. CXXVI. 4–9., Taf. CXXVIII. 1, 3., Taf. CXXIX. 1.), and Dalj-Batina ( Metzner-Nebelsick 2002) groups, and the settlement of Ormož ( Dular – Jevremov 2010: T. 50. 12., T. 129. 1., T. 148. 1., T. 151. 10., T. 159. 4). One of them shows a stump of a handle that probably exceeded the rim (Fig. 15/ 3). A cup with rounded body bearing vertical grooves (Fig. 16/ 2) has its closest analogy from Pécs–Makárhegy ( Patek 1968: Taf. XCVIII. 16.). ?e presence of both the form and the decoration in the Early Urnfield period is proved by finds from the settlements of Dunaszentgyörgy ( Reményi 2009: 8. ábra 2., 10. ábra 2.), Kalnik–Igrišče ( Vrdoljak 1994: T. 31. 5–6.) and Rogoza ( Črešnar 2010: Pl. 16. 9.).
