V. Catalogue of the Middle Bronze Age finds from Csengersima
grey fill uncovered plenty of ceramics, as well as a stone mould of the bronze Age, of the Suciu de Sus culture, phase I. Dimensions: 210 x 268 cm, 60 cm deep (310 pieces). 1020 (Fig.9) Feature with oval outline, with straight walls, rounded towards the bottom and inclined towards the outside; straight bottom. The grey-yellowish fill with daub uncovered several ceramic fragments of the Bronze Age, the Suciu de Sus archaeological culture, phase I. Dimensions: 110 x 155 cm; 20 cm deep (2 pieces). 1035 Feature with circular outline, with arched walls that met at the bottom. The grey-yellowish fill uncovered several ceramic sherds of the Early Mediaeval Age and others that belonged to the Bronze Age, to the Suciu de Sus culture, phase 1 (4 pieces). Dimensions: 80 x 85 cm; 30 cm deep. 1083 (Pl.46-49) Roman Age feature that cut into the Bronze Age feature 1083 B=1210 in its eastern side. The fill of the Roman Age feature was dark with much daub. It superimposed the bronze Age fill which was grey with yellow inclusions. The preserved thickness of the Bronze Age fill was 20 cm. The northern side of the feature 1083 was not investigated. The fill uncovered almost 200 ceramic sherds, that belonged to the Middle Bronze Age and 490 of the Roman Age, all mixed together. 1095 (Fig.9; Pl.40/4-10) Feature with oval outline, straight walls and rounded towards the flat bottom. Its fill was grey with little daub and ceramic fragments of the Bronze Age, of the Suciu de Sus culture, phase I. Dimensions: 185 x 220 cm; 26 cm deep (35 pieces). 1104 (Fig.10; Pl.50-51) Feature with oval outline, straight walls inclined towards the outside in the southern side, and arched in the northern part; flat bottom with a small step in the north-east. The grey-yellowish fill uncovered several ceramic fragments of the Bronze Age, of the Suciu de Sus culture, phase I. Dimensions: 190 X 240 (?) cm; 38 cm deep. 1105 (Fig.10; PI.52/1-3) Feature with possibly oval or rectangular outline and rounded corners. The western wall was straight and inclined towards the outside, and the eastern wall was arched and much inclined towards the outside. The bottom was flat and inclined to the west. The half northern side was not researched. The grey fill uncovered several ceramic fragments of the Bronze Age, of the Suciu de Sus culture, probably phase 1. Dimensions: 316 cm; 36 cm deep (38 pieces). 1106 (Fig.10; Pl.52/4-7) Feature with circular outline, straight walls and slightly inclined towards the outside, arched to the bottom; flat bottom. The southern side was cut by a Roman Age feature 1106 B. The greyyellowish fill uncovered several ceramic fragments of the Suciu de Sus culture, phase I. Dimensions: 190 x 200 cm; 30 cm deep (14 pieces). 1109-1109 B (Fig.l 1; Pl.52/8) When the humus was removed, several assemblies of ceramic fragments occurred at about 1-1,5 m north-east of that 'feature', at 25 cm in depth. Archaeologists assumed they originated from 'pit' 1109 because the successive sondage excavations made under the ceramic assembly did not reveal any feature they could have originated from. They would have reached this secondary position when the excavator unearthed the surface and drew them from the surface of 'pit' 1109. The 'feature' had rather circular outline; straight walls, inclined towards the outside; flat bottom. The dark grey fill with daub and charcoal uncovered a fragment of a stone grinder, daub with traces of rods, and several assemblies of ceramic fragments of the Bronze Age, of the Suciu de Sus culture, phase I. The fill in the eastern side of the 'pit', towards the bottom, was grey with yellow inclusions. Starting from the large dimensions and shape, from the presence of the daub with rod imprints, ceramic that could be made complete, it can be assumed that this was a deepened house. Dimensions: 260 x 246 cm, 42 cm deep. 1122 (Pl.53/1-2) Feature with circular outline; the walls were straight and rounded to the bottom; cylindrical in profile. The fill was dark grey with charcoal layers. It uncovered ceramic fragments (15 pieces), a mould and iron fragments of the Roman Age. Besides them were several ceramic fragments of the Bronze Age (31 pieces), the Suciu de Sus culture, phase I. Diameter: 45 cm, 62 cm deep. 33
