TISICUM XXVI. F. Kovács Péter La Tène Age Settlement Sections from the Middle Tisza Region Tiszapüspöki - Holt-Tisza part, Túrkeve - Burkushalom, Szolnok - Vegyimú'vekkörzet (Szolnok- Chemical factory district) Presentpaperaims to study three Iron Age settlementsection in details. In the vicinity of Tiszapüspöki an Iron Age house was unearthed. The house shows massive characteristics of the Late Iron Age but in a few cases we can find similar construction in the later period of the Middle Iron Age. Its archaeological assemblage is very poor, only one barrel shape pot was found which can be considered as a usual production of the Vekerzug-culture, althoughit can be found in the La Tène era too. This situation makes difficult to give a precise chronological frame,thus it is only possible to date between wide limits, namely the VI-IV. century BC: At Túrkeve-Burkushalom site a rectangular sunken floor house was excavatedwhich is the first published building from the Nagykunság area. The finds show a mild mixture of local ceramic tradition and La Tène ceramic style. The house can be dated to the middle La Tène period, between the LT B2-C1 phases. Archaeological data of the Nagykunság is quite unbalanced since only the Túrkeve site is published so far. In this manner, a recent stray find, i.e.a middle La Tène type enamel broochbears a unique significance. It was given to the museum and reported to be found in the vicinity of Mezőtúr. One of the most cited artefact from the Middle Tisza Region is the stamped kantharoihandle from the Szolnok-Vegyigyár site or more correctly Szolnok-Vegyiművekkörzet (in English: Szolnok-Chemical factory district). However, the find context is quite unclear. For this reason, it isnecessary to give a short overview of the information known about the objectalong with all data of this area. As a new detail,the Szolnok- Házgyár site is added where an ’S’ stamped pottery fragment was unearthed. The Szolnok-Gumikeverőüzemsite is also a recent excavation where a possible double handled jar was discovered. Our hope is that these new data and sites can help us to evolve a more complex image and to get a deeper understanding of the Late Iron Age archaeology of the Middle Tisza Region.
