cal channeled decoration on the belly line can be seen. Furthermore, there are 2 broken handles and 2 knobs on the shoulder with fluted decoration.5

This type of vessel is more common in the Piliny sites and can be dated to the Rei. Br. C. With some ornamental changes this form was used until the Rei. Br. D phase (KEMENCZEI 1967, 270).

LC.2. Conical vessel with strap handles and knobs

Unlike the other two-handled, knob-decorated vessels, this one from grave S17 has a rather elongated shape (Table 5. 11/1). The longer body and short neck is characteristic to the pots of the Tumulus culture.

5 Some parallels to the form, with varying decorations are known from the Piliny sites of Safarikovo: FURMÁNEK 1981 (44; Abb. 6, 6); Zagyvapálfalva-. KEMENCZEI 1967, 259 (Abb. 15, 1); Piliny-Borsos: KEMENCZEI 1967, 233 (Abb. 16, 1).

Thus, a large pot could have been used as an urn. The handles are located in the middle of the body and the 2 opposite knobs on the neckline.6 * *

T. Kemenczei dates the cemetery of Nagybátony to the early stages of the Piliny culture to the Rei. Br. B2-C period, thus the form can be dated to this phase (KEMENCZEI 1984, 14).

II. Bowls (Fig. 15)

A total of 11 bowls were found in the 10 graves. The bowls of grave SI, S9 and S17 were destroyed in such an extent that even the thickness of their walls is difficult to measure. Bowls are more frequently placed into graves than large vessels. These 11 pieces of bowls are 26.8% of all ceramic inclusions.

6 Similar form has been found in the Piliny site of Nagybátony:

KEMENCZEI 1984 (Taf. II. 4); PATAY 1954 (2. kép 5). In

other parallel cemeteries, this form is missing.
