Picture 7. Kengyel-Vigh-tanya. Point 4. The mass-produced goods of the 6th century (or rather to the term lasting from the years of 510-520 till the decades of 550—560 can be dated — a sparse stamped potsherd) eastern Germanic settlement of the elevation, which escorts the Kiskengyel-lapos (-plain). The precedents, roots of the vesseltype go back to the world of the Roman age, resp. into that environment, which was being created in the foreground of the limes at the middle and lower Duna/Danube around the 3rd-4th century. Picture 8. Kengyel-Vigh-tanya. Point 4. Vessel-fragment from the eastern Germanic object. It is fine substance, quickwheel-thrown, of brownish tint, of smoothed-in decoration biconic-shaped cup or bowl. Reconstracted. Picture 9. Kengyel-Vigh-tanya. Point 4. Bilateral bone-comb from the filling-earth of the Merovingian age settlement-object. The instrument of use and/resp. of costume in essence is made up of three parts, namely: the middle-plate(s) of dentation, the double-faced safety/stiffening lath(s) — one of which is decorated - and the iron rivets (four pieces) holding together all these. Picture 10. Kengyel-Vigh-tanya. Point 6. Merovingian age living-house. It is relatively well observable, that the point was fallen to the border of the high-bank, the strip of the beginning/departing, so-called southern exposition slope, practically its upper third (i.e. crest-slope). Picture 11. Kengyel-Vigh-tanya. Point 6. A Germanic settlement-building from the middle decades of the 6th century. The pit-house situating guided by the cardinal points was square, basically of 3 x 2,9 m size, 40-65 cm depth. Features referring to roof-structure were not very much shown. Picture 12. Kengyel-Vigh-tanya. Point 6. Scattered-find from the immediate environs of the early Merovingian period hut-foundation. A fine ceramic, which was wheel-made, dark-grey-blackish-coloured, of polished ornamentation, deeply bellied biconic cup/mug in bygone days. Picture 13. Kengyel-Vigh-tanya. Point 6. Early migration age dwelling-pit - a number of wheel-turned and by hand formed vessel-fragments from the „culture-layer (i.e. filling-in). These are pieces of brims, necks, shoulders, as well as bottoms. Picture 14. Kengyel-Vigh-tanya. Point 6. Ceramic-find from the second-third spits deep layer of the Gepidic hut-remain s filling-earth. A cup resp. deep

. bowl is of granular material, greyish-brown, consists of two parts, namely out of wheel-thrown upper detail and the hand-made lower foot-piece. (It is an important „attending-find: fragment of vessel with spilling/pouring-out tube.) Picture 15. Kengyel-Vigh-tanya. Point 9. The place of a 6th century Gepidic dwelling-building. The stain of ashes with diameter 2-3 metres was being lain on the edge of the bank devastated by erosion. Picture 16. Kengyel-Vigh-tanya. Point 9. Remain of an eastern Germanic settlementobject (see the preceding figure). In the section roughly speaking of 4 x 3—3,5 m extension it was outlined the four-sided contour of the sunken-hut mean 35—40 cm deep. At the bottom of the pit, which had got a dimension of 2,9-3,1 x 2,2-2,8 m, I was finding two post-traces. Picture 17. Kengyel-Vigh-tanya. Point 11. Ground-plan of the sunken-floored Gepidic 30
