182 Polen Kása Fig. 10. Position of pit S8 and the graves dug into its ground 10. kép. A. 8. objektum elhelyezkedése és a felszí­nébe ásott sírok S9 (grave, Table 3. 5/1-2; Table 10. 22/1-2) Scattered cremation grave. It is a strongly disturbed, but probably separate grave. Some fragmented pot­tery was found, one of which may have belonged to a bowl (1st inch Table 3. 5/1), and another possibly to a knob-decorated mug (2nd inch Table 3. 5/2). Some rub­ble stone also came to light (3rd inch Table 10. 22/1—2) near the grave. These might have been used as grave markers. These kind of markers were common by various Tumulus culture graves from other sites, but it would be the only example in Megyaszó-Halom-oldal dűlő. However, the grave may have been dug into pit S8, so the rubble stones could simply fell from the pit near the burial. The ashes were scattered around the ceramics. The remains were examined anthropologically. The ashes are of definite human origin, though neither the age nor the sex could have been identified (K. ZOFFMANN 2015, 1). Therefore it can be stated that an extremely poorly preserved burial was found. S10 (feature, Table 3. 6/1) The feature contains only a handled mug (1st inch), which laid 50 cm apart from grave SI. There was no apparent pit contour, and no ashes in the surrounding area. It cannot be decided for certain whether it is a part of pit S8 or a strongly fragmented/symbolic burial. 511 (grave, Fig. 11; Table 3. 7/1—6) Urn grave. No outline of the pit was documented. The grave consisted of 6 vessels. Two of the ceramics were used as urns, covered by bowls and 2 mugs were placed on top of each other separately from the urns. The vessels were collected in situ and they were taken apart at the museum. One of the bowls (1st inch Table 3. 7/1) hid the fragmented neck of a larger vessel, an urn (6th inch Table 3. 7/5). The other bowl (2nd inch Table 3. 7/4) covered a larger mug (3rd incl. Table 3. 7/6). One of the smaller mugs (4th incl. Table 3. 7/2) was damaged at the upper part during the excavation works, the other is complete (5th incl. Table 3. 7/3). The broken urn was full of poorly burnt ashes, from which the parts of femur, skull and teeth were recognizable. The large, covered mug also contained ashes, and some scattered ashes were around the ves­sels. All the remains belonged to one individual, who was an Infans I. aged child (K. ZOFFMANN 2015, 1). 512 (grave, Fig. 12; Table 4. 8/1—4) Urn grave. There was no sign of a grave fill contour. The grave was strongly damaged even the ash container bowl (1st incl. Table 4. 8/1) was broken. Among the pieces of the bowl some other pottery fragments came to light. After restoration a total of 4 vessels could be separated. The grave consisted of a broken-handled
