36 The site was significantly inhabited in the late Arpadian period. Semi-subterranean houses, oven-workshops (Table XIV. 5), pits connected to them, and waste pits show the traces of the medieval settlement. Balatonöszöd-Temetői-dűlő (Site M7/ S-10, excavation of MTA RI, from 2001) In 2001, more than 28 000 m

2 was researched, yielding 1 000 objects. On the west, lower part of this site, scarce remains of inhabitance were identified, dating from the Prehistoricand Medieval periods. Nevertheless, the eastern part of the north-south lying hill was densely occupied by objects from various periods. On the settlement of the Baden culture, besides houses, waste pits were uncovered. Two ritual pits with cattle and dog burials, human- and animal skeletons, and broken vessels came to light. After the sparse inhabitance of Celtic population, the remains of a settlement from the Avar period (7-8

th centuries) were found. From the Arpadian period (13

th century), traces of semi-subterranean houses, buildings with separate ovens were uncovered. Balatonboglár-Berekre-dűlő (Site M7/ S-24 excavation of SMMI, 1994-95 and from 2001) In 2001 11 000 m

2 was investigated, resulting 1 100 objects, on two separate surfaces. The earliest remains of inhabitance is represented by some pits of the Balaton- Lasinja culture. From the late phase of the Copper Age settlements objects and six graves of the Baden-Kostolac cultures were uncovered, too (Table XV. 1-2). Several beehiveshaped pits, and one grave with contracted skeleton, equipped with vessels were uncovered dating from the early Bronze Age, Kisapostag culture. One semisubterranean, rectangular construction with postholes, and numerous pits, containing significant amount of pottery represented the settlement of the elder Urnfield cu/fwre(HA1)(TableXV. 5). The multi-layered settlement features of the Hallstatt culture (Table XV. 3,4,6; XVI. 6) were present on the whole territory of the research area. Besides the squared, semi-subterranean constructions with postholes, smaller, beehive shaped pits, and larger, round, storage pits with vertical sides were excavated. From the Celtic period, besides small, semi subterranean, pile-work houses (Table XVI. 1), storage and smoking pits were discovered. From the Roman period, a smaller sized house, of which hammered floor was mixed with pottery, loess and pebbles. The remains of a large well with wooden structure, as well as a vast ditch system were revealed by the investigation (Table XVI. 4-6). In 2001, the traces of settlement objects from the Arpadian period were also detected (Table XVI. 2-3).
