occurrence, we can consider that this type represents almost everywhere an element of the local tradition during Middle Bronze Age121. This type is present in the pottery assigned to the Otomani culture122, being also discovered in the sites of Nyíregyháza-Bujtos and Morgó123. It occurs also in the pottery assigned to the Piliny124 and the Kyatice125 cultures, as well as among the materials of the Igriţa group126. It can be considered also as the main variant of the Hajdfibagos-Cehăluţ group127. One of these items has a decoration made by impressions (Pi. 39/1). This cup has not only a different ornamentation but also a different character among the other vessels found in the settlement, which make us believe that it is not local. This type of decoration along with the shape is found in the area of the Piliny culture128, although the very dense impressions are not specific for it either. The decoration of the neck, made through registers of impressions, has analogies in the vessels of a tumulus in the necropolis of Tápé129. Variant l Ab: Cup with an out-curved rim, high arched neck, globular-flattened body and ornamental incisions in the middle (PI. 11/3, 35/1). The shape is very much like the previous type but lacking the leg. Analogies are found in the Otomani culture130 and later on, this variant appears also in the Tumuli culture131, being then adopted by the Hajdfibagos-Cehăluţ cultural group. Variant lAc: Cup with an out-curved rim, high arched neck, globular-flattened body, and strongly accentuated shoulder line. In the middle area it has protuberances (PI. 9/6) or vertical channels (PI. 38/2). The earliest identification of such shapes in the Carpathian Basin is made in the archeological material of the Magyarád culture, while in Hungary the variant lAc appears in sites of the Tumuli culture132. Variant IB: Cup with an out-curved rim, high arched neck, globular-flattened body (PL 24/3). Some of the items lack the handle (PL 17/4, 37/3) or are provided with a knob in the middle (PL 29/8). Others, however, have an over-raised handle that starts from the rim and goes down up to the shoulder level (PL 1/2, 13/3, 19/3, 20/3, 24/5, 29/5, 32/6, 34/4, 36/3,
