Régészet - Hegedűs Katalin: The Settlement of the Neolithic Szakálhát-Group at Csanytelek–Újhalastó
Tools Bone implements comprise a few polishers fashioned from animal ribs (PI. X:ll— 12, 16, 18). The objects shown in PI. X:8 and 14 can perhaps be interpreted as fishing net weights and loomweights. The tools and implements found at the settlement also include the fragments of two clay spoons or ladles (PI. X:10, 19).

B. Kutzián was the first to suggest that the Szakáihát group (in the present, modern sense) is not a local group of the Tisza culture and that it should rather be regarded a separate, late group of the Alföld Linear Pottery. 114 N. Kalicz and J. Makkay regarded the Szakáihát group as a separate cultural complex of the Alföld Linear Pottery, 115 but on the basis of its vessel forms and ornamentation they linked its origin to the Transdanubian Linear Pottery culture. They based their hypothesis on the horizontal stratigraphy of the Tarnabod site, where Alföld Linear Pottery and Szakáihát pits were found alongside each other but without any admixture; they concluded that the Szakáihát group must be later. 116 The subsequent arguments put forward by N. Kalicz and J. Makkay. i.e. that Szakáihát group evolved from the late Alföld Linear Pottery culture and that it is 112 The 140 determinable animals bones listed in the faunal list were analysed by Dr. Sándor Bökönyi. This material was recovered from the features of the 600 m 2 excavated in 1979 by the author, from the 18 refuse pits. The zoological material of the 1980—1981 campaigns conducted by M. Galántha has not yet been analysed. 113 No such attempt was made by Kalicz and J. Makkay in their monograph published in 1977 in Budapest. 114 B, Kurzián, L, Das Neolithikum in Ungarn. Arch.
