V. Catalogue of the Middle Bronze Age finds from Csengersima
Roman Age feature with dark fill that contained daub and uncovered two ceramic fragments of the Suciu de Sus, phase I. 897 B Large-sized feature with oval outline, slightly inclined walls towards the outside and flat bottom; slightly deepened into the sterile soil. The fill was grey-yellowish with much charcoal and daub here and there. The fill uncovered materials decorated by incisions and excisions, specific of the second phase of the Suciu de Sus culture, as well as two fragments decorated by incisions that belonged to the first phase of this culture. Dimensions: 190 x 260 cm; 30 cm deep. 935 (P1.39) This “feature” was actually an assembly of daub, with unclear outline, situated between features 936 and 939. It occurred in the humus and within base of the humus (post holes with the following dimensions: 936: 40 cm in diameter; 15 cm deep; 937: 40 cm in diameter, 10 cm deep; 938: 60 cm in diameter, 20 cm deep; 939: 24 cm in diameter, 8 cm deep). This assembly also contained several fragments of stone grinders and ceramic fragments, secondary fired that belonged to the Bronze Age, the Suciu de Sus culture, phase I. The feature wasn't attested. 940 (PI.11/4) Roman Age feature, circular within the ground plan, with black fill that contained daub and Roman Age material besides some Bronze Age ceramic sherds , of the Suciu de Sus culture, phase I. Roman Age pit with daub, rich in material. Dimensions: 150 x 160 cm; 40 cm deep. 941 (Pl.l 1/5-10) Roman Age feature, with circular outline. The grey fill contained several ceramic fragments of the Bronze Age, of the Suciu de Sus culture, phase I. Diameter: 35 cm; depth: 8 cm. 944 (Fig.9) Feature with oval outline, beehive shaped profile and flat bottom. The grey-yellowish fill uncovered several ceramic fragments of the Bronze Age, the Suciu de Sus culture, phase 1. Dimensions: outline diameter: 65 x 80 cm; maximum diameter: 118 x 96; 40 cm deep. 1000 B Large-sized Roman Age feature with dark grey fill and daub. Besides the Roman Age ceramics (38 pieces) were also found several (19 pieces) ceramic fragments of the Bronze Age, the Suciu de Sus culture, that were likely to belong to phase I. 1000 c Roman Age feature with a fill that contained several Bronze Age fragments, of the Suciu de Sus culture, phase I (8 pieces). 1005 A and B (Fig.9) Feature with unclear outline, almost oval, oriented east-west (the initial dimensions were 248 x 260), initially defined as one feature. Feature 1005 A was situated in the eastern side, with oval outline, the walls were much inclined towards the outside; the bottom was flat. The greyyellowish fill with daub and charcoal uncovered several ceramic fragments of the Bronze Age, the Suciu de Sus culture, phase I. Dimensions: 160 x 200 cm; 40 cm deep. Feature 1005 B had almost oval outline; it occurred west of 1005 A, and had grey fill with little daub and charcoal. It uncovered few ceramic fragments of the Bronze Age, of the Suciu de Sus culture, likely belonged to phase I, 45 cm deep. 1009 (Fig.9; Pl.40/1) Roman Age feature (well - 1009 A), which in the moment of its excavation destroyed a complex of the Bronze Age. The fill of the well was dark grey with little daub, crossed by ash and charcoal stripes and yellow-sandy stripes. It was researched down to 130 cm deep after it had been flooded. The daub layer of the Bronze Age matched the direction of the pit line and had the walls inclined towards the western side. While excavating the well, the daub fell into it. Thus, it can be assumed that it used to be a surface house with unknown dimensions. The daub platform that was preserved only in the west side pointed to the fact that it was semicircular there. The preserved dimensions of the daub platform were: 170 x 90 cm; 20 cm thick. The fill of the well uncovered many Roman Age ceramic fragments and several that belonged to the Bronze Age, to the Suciu de Sus culture, phase 1(12 pieces). 1014 (Fig.9) Large-sized feature with almost rectangular outline and rounded margins; the southern side of the long side was semicircular. The western side was less deep, it resembled a small threshold. The 880 32
