Tiszavasvári-Városföldje, Jegyző-tag. A settlement of the 5th century Fig. 3 3. kép - N —S - as the ones excavated in Tiszavasvári. The exterior furnace was also attached to the northern wall, and these houses were also situated close to each other. We hardly have any information on the structure of the houses from Tiszavasvári. Though we have observed relatively many features dug into the floor, most of them cannot be determined as posthole. Júlia Kovalovszki had the same experience in the case of the Tiszaeszlár houses and suggested the existence of a roof structure "made with the assistance of cross-beams supported by props standing in the corners" and suggested that there have been used pits inside the house (KOVALOVSZKI 1980. 25). Pits Beside the ones mentioned in connection with the houses, we unearthed 10 small and large pits which is a very low number comparing to the Sarmatian settlements of the Great Hungarian Plain. In this settlement we miss big beehive shaped storage pits usual there. The same phenomena are characteristic for the already mentioned settlement in TiszaeszlárBashalom. Heating devices As we could see before, a part of the fire devices belonged to the dwelling houses (houses 2, 3, 5, 6). On the basis of our observations it cannot be excluded that feature named "fire-place 1" also belonged to a dwelling house. Furnaces were deepened into the walls of the houses. Beside these, we have found the remains of an independent exterior furnace close to house 1. As a close parallel again the Tiszaeszlár settlement can be mentioned (KOVALOVSZKI 1980.26). Pottery workshop The most special feature of the Tiszavasvári settlement is a pottery kiln joining a large (6x3.2 m that is to say: 19.2 m 2 ) building (Fig. 3). We know several pottery kilns from the territory of the Barbaricum of the Carpathian basin (Fig. 4). All the kilns published up to now belong to two basic groups: at the first one the fire chamber under the grate is Tiszavasvári-Városföldje, Jegyző-tag, house 7 Tiszavasvári-Városföldje, Jegyző-tag, 7. ház Fig. 4 Pottery kilns of the Sarmatian period found in the Carpathian basin. 1: Beregsurány (CSALLÁNY 1966.), 2: Budapest-X. kerület (RF 1.26.1973.54-55.), 3: Csengersima (unpublished/publikálatlan), 4: Doboz (RF 1.36. 1983.78.), 5: Gyula (PÁRDUCZ 1935. 190191.), 6: Gyulavári (RF 1.35.1982.59.), 7: Hódmezővásárhely (PÁRDUCZ 1937.), 8: Kiskőrös (RF 1.34.1981.48.), 9: Kunszentmárton (VÖRÖS 1998.62.), 10: Nagymágocs (VÖRÖS 1998.62.), 11: Sándorfalva (VÖRÖS 1987.88.), 12: Tiszafüred (RFIAI. 1988.23.), 13: Vrsac/Versec (RASAJSZKI 1957.) 4. kép Feltárt szarmata kori fazekaskemencék a Kárpát-medencei barbarikumban 175
