122 J. Németi In 1986 nine graves were unearthed from a cemetery belonging to the Bodrogkersztúr culture at the Crasna Bridge from Cämin (Disznólegelő). Between 1992 and 1999 there were conducted several small rescue excavation. Further archaeological observations were made after the bursting of the dam in 1998. For a structured presentation of the archaeological finds from the above mentioned area, we divided the bank of Crasna River into six zones, from the bridge at Cäpleni to the one at Berveni, marking them from A to F (PI. 1/5, Appendix 1). Scythian discoveries The Scythian objects from Camin-Krasznapart were already presented in a former study (Németi 1982, 71-82), and partially they were also included in the repertory of the area (Németi 1999, 75-76, 51 a-c). New isolated finds and objects were uncovered in the zone C, on the area of a HaD2 Scythian settlement. The drainage ditch from the left bank of the river almost destroyed the site, but a small part of it was revealed in trench no. 1 (SI) during the survey excavation in 1999. The rescued part of the site was transected by a La Тёпе pit. • Fragment of a bowl with inverted rim, its colour is dark grey outside and brown inside, grit tempered with a smooth surface; rim diam.: 26 cm, bottom width: 9cm, height: 6.2 cm; inv. no. 18.848 (PI. 5/1). • Fragment of the rim and body of a wheel-thrown, light grey, sand-tempered biconic beaker with smooth surface; rim diam.: 10 cm, height: 5.6 cm; inv. no. 18.989 (Pi. 5/4). • Prism form, sand tempered, brown clay stamp seal with geometric decoration; length: 4.5 cm, width: 2.1 cm; inv. no. 18.843 (Pi. 5/3). • Fragment of a grit tempered deep bowl with lightly inverted rim.
