Tibor Kovács: Eastern Connections of North-Eastern Hungary in the Late Bronze Age

EASTERN CONNECTIONS OF HUNGARY 51 11, no. 1., Fig 12, no. 3., Fig. 15, no. 2., Fig. 16, no. 11., Fig. 17, no. 1), frequently inlaid with lime; grooves (Fig. 11, no. 4., Fig. 15, no. 4., Fig. 17, nos. 4, 9), burnished lines, large impressed dots (Fig. 13, nos. 8, 11., Fig. 14, no. 6., Fig. 15, nos. 1, 9). The necks of the sevessels are undecorated and there are several specimens without any decoration too. The deeply-incised and cut-out Felsőszőcs decoration does not occur any more, instead of it the decorative motifs showing the influence of the Egyek pottery have been used (grooves, impressed large dots, dense hatching (Fig. 15, no. 6). There are several such types of vessel among the collected finds which have their parallels in the material of areas towards the east : 1. Urn with everted rim and two handles on the neck (Fig. 11, no. 15., Fig. 17, no. 12) ;

1 the grooved warts and the grooves on these vessels can be due to the influence of Egyek (Fig. 17, no. 12 and Nagykálló). 2. Tall mug with handle set just below the rim (Fig. 12, nos. 11, 13).

7

2 3. Mug with slender body and turned up rim on both sides (Fig. 12, no. 12).

7

3 4. Vessel with everted rim and arched shoulder

7

4 (Muhi Princ-tanya).

7

5 5. Small vessel with two handles rising above the rim (Fig. 15, nos. 17—19, 21 and Nagykálló-Vasútállomás).

7

6 A few two-handled jugs can be found in the material of the Egyek group (cf. Fig. 15, nos. 15, 20, 22), but these always stand on foot and are variations of the one-handled jug standing on foot.

7 The described vessels are the closest to the similar but generally unornamented vessels of the Noa culture. 7

7 The discussed three vessels from Bujtos differ from the similar specimens from Egyek (cf. note 68) and are rather related to the widespread forms of the southern part of the Hungarian Great Plain, especially Fig. 15, no. 20. [Cf. Vinski, Z., Broncanodobne ostave Lovas i Vukovar. Vjesnik Zagreb 1 (1958) Pis. VIII-X.] ; Similarly the parallels to the vessels on small bases can be found in the material of the southern territories : Milleker, В., Délmagyarország régiségleletei. (Archaeological Finds from Southern Hungary) III. (Temesvár 1906) 46., Fig. 3. Similar finds also occurred in the Piliny cemetery (MNM). Their appearance in the Nyírség can be attributed to the relation between the Piliny culture and the Egyek group which is traceable in other respects too.
