Bejinariu Ioan: Aspects of the Late Bronze Age Cultural Evolution in Northwestern Romania (the Upper Barcău and Crasa Rivers)
Bejinariu loan mound dated in the first phase of necropolis, and the other from a mound assigned to the second phase 50 In C 7 complex (PI. 10/2) were founded fragments of one large vessel and a fully preserved bowl. The first vessel belongs to the category of so-called “storied vessel”. It is preserved the lower part, the body ornamented with wide channels or rather oblique facets and from upper part of vessel are preserved few sherds mostly from the rim and shoulder area of the vessel. Mouth funnel-shaped vessel was strongly flared, two small handles appear on shoulder to be interposed between a strip of horizontal channels (PI.20). Generally these vessels are large containers. Our exemplar has a base diameter of 15 cm and 50 cm diameter of mouth. The bottom part, fully preserved, measure 22 cm. By analogy with other vessels of this kind, where lower "floor" is about 40% from the height of the vessel, our vessel measure about 50-55 cm in height. Similar vessels were found in the repertory of Gáva culture31, and close analogies are at Gyoma, in south-east Hungary52 Biharkeresztes 53or at Bodrogkeresztúr, in north-west part of Hungary54. The bowl (PI. 19/1) had the rim slightly thickened and curved inwards. Similar examples occur also in Gáva area55. Another bowl with inward rim and faceted with horizontal facets (PI. 16 / 7) comes from C 70 complex (pi. 10/1) which is associated with a vessel fragment with handles and fine and horizontal channels on neck (pi. 16/4). From that pit were also recovered bone remains from two calves, one of them integral deposited. Fragments of large vessels, some with double colors, decorated with wide channels or facets, arranged horizontally, oblique or in “garland" was recovered from the complexes C 45 (PI. 15/3) and C 47 (PI. 14/1-2). One fragment of a vessel ornamented with wide oblique facets on the body associated with horizontal channels on the conical neck is also noted (PL 15/1). In this respect we find analogies in numerous sites from eastern Hungary, assigned to the early stage of Gáva culture, such as the Kaba-Bitózug or Polgar M3 motorway - site no. I56 Very interesting is a vessel from the pit C 45. It is a vessel with slightly curved profile and a straight rim, but above all it has a distinct ornament made of fine channels, arranged horizontally and in “garland" in the lower register (PI. 13/2). Similar vessels in form, but more importantly, in the combination of horizontal channels and in “garland", are among the materials assigned more recently to Teleac la phase or in the settlement from Alba Iulia “Monolit” 57or in Hungary in early Gáva site from Polgar M3 motorway - site no. I58. Another vessel with the identical ornament combination of that from Pericei, comes from an unknown location in the former county Szabolcs59. The combination of the two ornamental motifs are found quite frequently in the previous period60 on various shapes of vessels from Susani61, in Crişana on pottery assigned to Igriţa group62 or among of some so-called proto- Gáva discoveries from Hungary 63 Also, we note one ceramic fragment of a cone-shaped lid, decorated in exterior with channels arranged in “garland” (PI. 16/3). 5 * * * * * * * * * * * * * 5" Kacsó 1980, 37, PI. 24, 33/6 51 Szabó 2002, PI. 24/33, 36-37 52 Genito-Kemenczei 1990, 119, Fig. 4/1,5/1; Szabó 2004. 93, PI. 9/20, 23 53 Szabó 2002, PI. 135/1-2;Idem 2004 A, Fig. 6/10 54 Kemenczei 1984, PI. 133/14 55 Kemenczei 1984 Pl.Cxl/18; Vieze 1996, 32, Fig. 15/2 56 Szabó 2002, PI. 174/1, 194/2 57 Ciugudean 2009, Pl. 1/2, VIII/5 58 Szabó 2004a, PI. 8/9 59 Kemenczei 1984, Pl.
