14 SZÉKELY ZSOLT 4 On the territory of Transylvania other cultures, like the tumular graves culture, GTrla Mare, Wietenberg, Monteoru and Noua14 contributed to the development of the Iron Age. The discovery of Gáva culture in the South-East of Transylvania had a new contribution to the knowledge of an evolutionist opinion about the Iron Age, implicit the stage represented by Reci I. in the South-Edst of Transylvania. The technique and the motives of the decoration of the vessels from the settlement of Reci I. stage, the well black-burned paste, polished surface on the outside, and brown-red on the inside, are characteristic for the Gáva culture. About the form and the decoration of the vessels we can say that the Hallstattian aspect in this region were developed on a substance of some cultures form the Bronze Age. The big vessels, with high, cylindrical neck, whose superior part is like a cupola, and the inferior one is thronconical, under the cupola have a zone like a marked ring, which is decorated with grooves (pi. 11/6). These vessels are known from Monteoru, Wietenberg and GTrla Mare15 cultures in the Bronze Age, but this form is not known in late Piliny culture, Egyek and Gáva cultures too, however we found it at Baj, Hungary, District of Szabolcs.16 It is a thronconical vessel, with a band in relief, decorated with grooves, the superior part being cylindrical. This vessel from the Iron Age has analogies with the tipes of vessels founded at Reci, I stage.17 The vessels which have a sack form are known in Noua culture,18 (pl. 1/7). The other vessels, discovered at Reci, from a typological point of view are: bowls, vessels with leg, saucers, cups, sferical vessels, which has the origin in the Bronze Age ceramics in Roumania. The amphora from Reci is a type of vessel which has the origin in West, in the same time we meet it in the ceramics material of Pre-Scythian culture.19 The decoration of the big, bitronconical vessels is formed by bands of grooves, placed in garlands, or situated around a prominence, this decoration is traditional in Piliny, Egyek, Berkesz-Demecser and Otomani III. cultures.20 Other forms of decors are fiat and conic buttons, bands of incision lines in wave.
