Régészet - Mikhailo Potushniak: Data the question of the Stračevo/Körös Culture dwellings in the Upper Tisza Region

Data to the question of the Starcevo/Körös Culture dwellings Rivne-Kismező/Szernye-Kismező The second Starcevo/Körös Culture settlement was found in village of Rivne, at the site of Kismezö, situated 1 km south of the village and 10 km north of settlement Zastavne-Mala Hora. The settlement occupies an arch shaped headland made by the ancient meandering bed of river Serne. The river was regulated, today this is channel. The site in question is multi-level. Beside the SKC building horizon (Rivne-Kismezö I) two features of the Painted Pottery Culture (PPC) from the Middle Neolithic Age were investigated (Rivne-Kismezö II). In the walls of the channel that was cut into the settlement, we could trace the culture layers of Halstatt, La Tcne, Roman Age, and Middle Ages. The traces of SKC were recorded at a surface of 1-1.5 hectares. The site was investigated in three field campaigns. In 1977-78 a big dwelling of the SKC (dwelling 1/77-78) and two features of the PPC (2/77, 2/78) were researched. In 1988 parts of two SKC houses (2/88, 3/88) were investigated.
