the Bohemian area, and could have transmitted it to the Piliny culture (KEMENCZEI 1968, 181). Since the pottery’s exact, complete form is not known, it is not suitable for dating.

III. Mugs (Fig. 16)

A total of 14 mugs were found. 13 of these can be definitely connected to burials while one of them, feature S10 might have had a function related to some kind of secondary ceremony (KEMENCZEI 1968,171; FÜLÖP-VÁCZI 2014,416). The distribution of mugs are different in each grave. In grave SI and Sll there were 3—3 pieces, while in grave S7 two pieces came to light. Other graves contained a single mug, while in grave S3 and S16 mugs were missing. One of the mugs from grave S7 was represented by a sole fragmented handle (Table 2. 4/5), so the precise classification is impossible and it was not added to any group in this typology. The large number of mugs makes them the most common findings in graves; among all ceramic inclusions, 34% of them are different shaped mugs.

III. A. Conical mugs

There is only one complete and another strongly fragmented mug that can be classified into this group. The fragmented piece can be reconstructed by the shape

and the thickness of wall. The whole, undecorated piece was found in grave SI {Table 1. 1/6), while the fragmented one was in grave S9 (/Table 3. 5/2).III. 12

It is a quite ordinary form, and there was not much attention paid to its development and quality. This type is relatively common in both Tumulus and Piliny sites, but the specific chronological and spatial distribution cannot be outlined. These are not significant for dating.

III.B.1. Undecorated compressed globular-shaped mugs

It is the most common mug type in the cemetery. Two pieces were found in grave Sll (Table 3. 7/2—3), and one piece from grave S12 (Table 4. 8/2) and S13 (Table 4. 9/1). Each piece has a handle from the rim running to the belly line.13

12 There are some similar pieces from the Piliny sites of Zagy- vapálfalva-. KEMENCZEI 1967 (Abb. 10, 9); Szurdokpüspöki'. KEMENCZEI 1984 (Taf. XIII. 21, 24); Safarikovo-. FUR- MÁNEK 1977b (Taf. 1.12/21); and from the Tumulus cemetery of Tiszafüred-. KOVÁCS 1975 (Pl. 2, 12/2; Pl. 29, 316/1).

13 Numerous parallels can be found from Tumulus sites like Detek: KEMENCZEI 1968 (7. kép 11, 12, 14); Tiszafüred-. KOVÁCS 1975 (Pl. 1, 4/3; Pl. 1, 6/5; Pl. 2, 14/1; Pl. 2, 15/1; Pl. 2, 19/4; Pl. 3, 32/1; etc.); ügyek-Szőlőhegy-.
