Beszámoló az MO. autóút Gyál 3. és Gyál 10. lelőhelyén feltárt... Account on the Arpadian Age dwelling houses explored in Gyál 3 and Gyál 10 along Motorway MO - Erika Simonyi Resume The Directorship of Pest County Museums and the Hungarian National Museum carried out archaeological explorations from April of 2002 for half a year in the periphery of Gyál (Pest County) - relating to the investment of Motorway MO. The two sites, Gyál 3 and Gyál 10, were subverted during construction of Motorway M5 and the area arrangement of the 1980's. Reconstructing the surfaces, we concluded that more coeval smaller villages stood in the late Arpadian Age on the hills located several hundred meters from each other. At Gyál 10, 78 objects came to light; we were able to explore four the 1213

th century Arpadian houses, medieaval and early Modern Age wells, pits, ditches. At Gyál 3, 212 objects from the 2-4* century, Arpadian Age and early Modern Age were found, out of which 124 were ditches, 39 pits and wells, 16 ovens, and 27 dwelling houses. In this study is presented seven Arpadian Age houses deepened half in the earth, out of which had been found funnels in six. These all start from the corner opposite the oven, 10-30 cm above the floor. Erzsébet Molnár explored very similar houses with funnel in the Arpadian Age settlement in Esztergom-Zsidód. These funnels also started from the corner opposite the oven, reconstructed as primitive chimney for smoke abatement of the house. Rectangular pit was founded in the house quarter opposite the furnace in three cases out of seven in the houses of Gyál. Based on the traces found on the side of the pits we concluded that they were possibly storing pits covered with boards. The oven made from clay balls, built posteriorly in the first house is unique in the domestic archaeological materials.
