the calcified bone-heap. The large-scale bowl was situated upwards with its bottom, covered down, beneath the level of the grass roughly at 15-25 cm - its twothirds-half was rested „in situ". I came across the burnt bone-heap in the depths about 25-30 cm; on the circular-oval surface of 20-25x15-20 cm in two-three inches thick. It was not shown stain of the cremation burial in the black, „fatty" humus. In the trifling deep being feature-ensemble (cemetery?) was remained intact, obviously owing to that, that the grass had never been broken up. From the vessel I collected 41 pieces bigger fragmenta. The wide, flat bowl is of well silted (of quartz-mica), made from fal clay, at potter's construction rotaring rapidly, of greyish-brown tint, „of soft light", practically unpolished. On the inner side and outside at the bottom-part it may be observed the ribs, traces of the wheel-turning. Its form is a frustrum of cone with sole-disc, with grooved, inwards breaking mouth-part, rounding off rim. The bowl's height is 11,5 cm, its sole-diameter 9 cm, it have 30 cm brim-diameter. The height of the sole-disc is about 0,5 cm. The wall-thickness is of 0,7-1,7 cm. The age of the grave with strew cremation rite may be mostly the 5th-4th century B.C. (Latène A-B). Site 28. (8th and 13th of May) North-western field-part, Third-field, Sarkad-brooklet, Public-Great-plain, (asphalt/road) of Örs The settlement-place of great antiquity is on a back lying in direction of north-south, from the border of Nagyiván to north-west (taken the church as a basis clockwise at 315° from the northern course) at a distance of 3,6-3,8 km. This ridge is stretched on the western boundary of the Third-field's space divided into parts, from the asphalt-way to south. It is bordered by a rivulet from orient, resp. its bed-survival of times past, from south-west by the depression of the Public-Great-plain, its dank, swampy and grass surface. The emerging-out is 250-300x30-60 m sized, of 90 m height above sea-level, of 1-1,5 m relatively. When I went to see it, the terrain was being harrowed, with tender green crop, consequently well observable. Archeological finds I was gathering from a surface about 200-20x50 m, as ground-parts more or less. It looked, that there is a part of max. 100x50 m in the north-eastern zone of the site, and within this still a stain of roughly 50x30 m (from the road at distance about 50 m). This smaller „focus" was encompassed without a mistake through its greyish, mellow humus and by its more abundant find-material (ceramic, half-a-dozen stone-fragments, chaffy burnt daub, a few osteological materials). If we are watching the ceramic, firstly it has to raise that, whether is there among the more characterless sherds such one, which is earlier than the iron age. In larger quantities, typically, well identifiably were showing oneselves in the fleck of ashes the scythian - of Hallstatt D-Latène A-B-Ci age - finds: I packaged 100-150 pieces wheel-turned and hand-made ccramic-f ragmen ta. The table-vessels are: the wheel-thrown of properly silted clay, greyish and brownish fragments were amountig approx. 20 % of the material. Their surface is mat or polished, peculiar to them the mean thick, laminated broken walls. At the bottom-parts we are finding not profiled and profiled fashioning ones equally. Undoubtedly from bowls
