184 Polen Kása Fig. 13. Grave S16 and S17 13. kép. 16. és 17. objektum the southern pit S4. The 3 pits may belong to the same level. The pit was partly excavated, and the uncovered layer did not contain any finds. 516 (grave, Fig. 13; Table 4. 10/1—3) Urn grave. One of the graves dug into pit S8. It is located at the northernmost corner of the excavation trench, beside grave S17. The outline of the grave fill was not visible, its absolute depth is -30—50 cm. On the southern side of the urn a solitary human phalange was found, which was slightly burned. The urn (1st incl. Table 4. 10/1) was covered with a fragmentary bowl. It was taken out in situ and the dismantling took place at the museum. After restoration, further ceramic pieces suggest 2 pots. One of them is a thick-walled, dark brown, ring-footed vessel (2nd incl. Table 4. 10/2) while the other is a finer, thin-walled, orange vessel with channeled decoration (3rd incl. Table 4. 10/3). The urn was completely full of ashes, which contained some larger calcined pieces. Based on the anthropological examination the burial could preserved the remains of an adultus man (K. ZOFFMANN 2015, 1). 517 (grave, Fig. 13; Table 5. 11/1—3) Urn grave. Located near grave S16. The contour of the grave fill was not clear. The absolute depth is -28—46 cm. The urn (1st incl. Table 5. 11/1) was in situ lifted, dismantling continued at the museum. Among the ashes, the broken rim of the urn was found, as well as some other pottery pieces, which might belonged to a covering bowl (2nd incl. Table 5. 11/2). A small mug (3rd incl. Table 5. 11/3) was placed on top of the ashes. The ashy layer was 15 cm thick and contained some large calcined pieces. Some micro fragmented ashes were also found beside the urn up to grave S16. The two graves however cannot be handled as one, because the anthropological results reveal that this grave belonged to an adultus-maturus woman (K. ZOFFMANN 2015,1). TYPOLOGY From the 10 features defined as burials a total of 40 inclusions were found, which can be divided into three main groups. The main group of ceramics contains 37 vessels overall that can be separated into 6 formal groups. These groups can be further refined to subgroups based on their ornamentation. The 2nd major group includes bronze findings, which means 2 spiral rings that can be sorted into individual subgroups. The 3rd major group is established for clay bead inclusions. CERAMICS In spite of the relatively low amount of ceramic inclusions, a fairly wide variety of shapes and decorations can be detected, which show a well-delineated taste.
