Zay Orsolya: Egy Árpád-kori veremház rekonstrukciója
40 ZAY ORSOLYA A reconstruction of a pit-dwelling from the era of the Arpad Dynasty ORSOLYA ZAY In 2010 a group of historical reenactors, the members of the Mare Temporis Foundation for Historical Traditions, decided to build a house-reconstruction in Hungary from the 11 th—13th centuries. We took part some festivals in Europe where we saw high quality experimental archeology. The researchers and reenanctors dressed up in period clothes, showed the way of life and made the arts and crafts to the tourists. We determined to build one type of house from Árpádian period. We chose a Historical Park in Hungary and got a place from the Foundation of the Park where we started the building procession. Informations from archeological and ethnographical articles and monographies were collected. After that we searched people -both archeologists and reeanctors - who have experiences in the reconstruction process. When we collected the informations about the original dwelling-houses we planned our building. During our work we made written notes and took photos about every different building session. We have civil jobs so thus we worked only in weekends, so that we finished the building procession in 2012. We didn't want to exactly follow or contradict to anybody's hipothesis, only made our idea but that was important to insist on archeological remains. In conclusion we can present a real pit-house reconstruction, which can be used as a dwelling. The total measure is 36,9 m2 with the area of our loft in the north end of the house. You can use the berm to sit and sleep next to storage fuction. In our opinion this house is quite good for a bigger family and their properties. Moreover this family or residents of a little village were able to build a house like ours during 1,5-2 weeks. The house came through remarkably well the autumn and winter. The walls and the roof from reed don’t leak the water, and the house is dry all year. The builder group welcome everybody who enquires the pit-dwelling from spring to winter.
