Late Iron Age House near Kunszentmárton

In 2017. during a rescue excavation preceding the building of the M44 highway, on the multiperiod site of Kunszentmárton - Gyalu-puszta II., a Late Iron Age semi-subterranean building was found. The building situated on the side of the IV. trench and only half of it lay inside of it. This gave us an opportunity to excavate the other side of the building from the original surface and see the layers that were destroyed by the humus removal. The building has a nearly square shape, the main axis of it is E-W, where two deeper post holes were excavated, on the

N-S axis shallow post places were found. These were not dug out intentionally, just the weight of the posts pressed the floor to a 5-10 cm depth. The building contained only a few pottery sherds that belonged to 15 vessels along with a sharpening stone. Most of the vessels are of generic form, with a few specific ones. The ceramic remains date the house to the L Téne C period. The building fits into the type of small settlements, with only a few buildings situated on a high bank, which are known from region.
