Archaeological Finds belonging to the Late Hallstatt and La Тёпе Period from Cämin 127 and they held a flat roof. At the one side of the dwelling we also found a post pit with a diameter of 20 X 15 cm, deepened 10-15 cm in the subsoil. The two longitudinal pits indicated a roofing with purlins, thus, the latter pit had nothing to do with the roof It might have been the place of a pole for hanging clothes or other objects. The filling of the feature was ashy grey down to the floor level. It was full with potsherds: there were 49 pieces of hand-made and 41 wheel-thrown pottery fragments registered, belonging to different types of vessels. There were also discovered fragments of spindle-whorls and loom weights, a considerable quantity of iron slag, burnt clay, some wattle and daub - indicating the wall structure of the building significant amount of animal bones, some fragments of corroded iron brooches, fragments of a sapropelit and several glass bracelets. The finds and mainly the great amount of iron slag yelling from this feature distinguish it from the usual Celtic pit houses, thus, it might have been rather a workshop of iron working than a household (Pi. 3). • The fragments of a boot-shaped, wheel-thrown, black coloured vessel.
