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

Mikhailo Potushniak Semi-subterranean house 1/77-78 was a pit deepened into the subsoil. It had significant sizes, the outlines could not be well determined: the pit was more or less rectangular or roundish. The outlines of the feature were observed 0.5-0.6 m deep from the modern surface, at the level of subsoil. About one fourth of the dwelling pit, its northern part was demolished by the channel. We could investigate a 16 m long (N-S) and 12 m wide (E-W) large part of the feature. Its original length could be 20 m. A tongue shaped, 8x5 m large pit was connected to the eastern wall of the structure. It had an uneven base and probably served as an entrance room. The whole northern half of the investigated part of the pit had an almost plain bottom, it was 0.4-0.5 m deep from the level of recording. The base of the southern half, along the eastern wall of the pit was cut by shallow (0.2-0.7 m from the level of the bottom) pits of various shapes, connected with each other. Here, in one of the pits, situated closer to the entrance room, at a surface of more than 10 sq. m we observed the concentration of burned clay plastering mixed with ash, small pieces of charcoal, burned clay, that must had been the remains of a clay kiln. However, the bottom and the place of the kiln were not found.
