Half part of a casting mould, a small piece of the upper part missing, made of sandstone. It was used to make socketed axes with a small loop, decorated with parabolic motif and two parallel ribs on the upper part. Approximate dimension of the axe-form: 1: cca.12 cm; w (with ear): 6.1 cm. Dimensions of the casting mould: 1: 14 cm; w: 10 cm; h: 5.3 cm. The sides of the object are coarse, probably it is unfinished (PI. 4/1). 15.

Analysis of the findings The “fishbone”-like decoration of the Co(ofeni sherd is common for all the periods of development, so it has no chronological value. Similar findings are known from Cluj-Napoca, Nandru, Boc§a Montana,8 Filia§,9 etc. The pottery belonging to the Middle Bronze Age Wietenberg culture is poor, but the few characteristic decorations 8 Roman 1976, 141, pi. 41/5-7. 9 Sztáncsuj - Körösfői 2009, 36,
