the new technology through the Scythian-Cimmerian population, which arrived from the steppe. In addition, Celts settled here later, during the 3rd century BC, arriving from the Rhine and moving furthermore to east. They made good quality iron-objects, while the ceramic vessels were made with the potter’s wheel. Moreover, they minted coins and produced glass vessels, too. The most specific objects for the Celts, are the fine pottery made with graphite. Potsherds of this type were found on the site of the deserted village of Remete, and at Sárvári-halom. The wider area is rich in Celtic finds, too: the sites of Fábiánháza-Mérk, and Nyírcsaholy-Szentmiklós suggests a dense settlementstructure.

During the following centuries, the area of Nagyecsed was not inhabited. The area to the west was inhabited by Sarmatians, while to the east of the swamp was the area of Dacians, Sarmatians, and Germans. To the north were the territories of the Germanic tribes. Later the area of Nagyecsed was slowly populated again, a golden solidus was found in Kis-tag-dűlő, on the high bank of a drained branch of Crasna River, dating from the age of the migrations. The coin was minted by the Roman Emperor Valentinian III (425-455 AD), and it attests the presence of the Germanic population in the area. The cemetery on the west side of Sárvári-halom is also related to their presence. The surface research revealed two fibulae and a fragment of scramasax (sword with one cutting edge) in the tilled soil.
