Str.161 edény égető kemence As the great barbarian pottery workshops ceased to exist at the turn of the 4th—5th centuries AD, the focus of pottery production shifted to the single settlements. Several pottery kilns are known from the northern and eastern territories of the Carpathian Basin in which fine bowls, jugs with smoothed-in decoration as well as coarse wheel-turned pots were produced (Soós 2016b, 650). Similarly, the residents of the Hernádvécse settlement manufactured crockery to cater of local demand. 2.4. SETTLEMENT MATERIAL 2.4.1. Ceramics18 I. Wheel-turned fine ware The material of the fine, wheel-turned pottery is tempered with more sand than in the previous periods.19 The treatment of the surface is of poor workmanship, the smoothing and polishing made by hand are casual. Most vessels are grey, typical to reduction firing (la) while 18 For the technological and typological distribtion of the ceramic material see Table 1. 19 The same phenomenon could be observed also at other sites of the same period, for eg. Lazuri-Ratul lui Bela (Gindele 2010, 42, Abb. 16-20). oxidation firing (lb) were rare. Several fine and coarse vessels underwent biphasic firing based on the black or grey surface and red in fracture (Ic). The technology was widespread in the Roman Provinces from the second half of the 4th century AD (Ottományi 1991,36; OttomAnyi 1996,114; Hárshegyi-Ottományi 2013, 503—507). It can also be observed although in a lower proportion, in Sarmatian territory combined with the new, foreign forms which appeared from the last third of the 4th century AD. The majority of vessels produced by this type of firing represent traditional Sarmatian or late Sarmatian forms but some of them are foreign types the analogy of which can be found in Santana de Mure§—Chernyakhov culture (Masek 2011, 258—263). 1/1. Bowls 1/1.1. Hemispherical bowls (Fig. 11, I. 1—2; Table III, 1). One of them has ring thickening rim without surface treatment. The other piece is a fragment of a brownish vessel with elongated, curved rim and two incised lines on the belly. 1/1.2. S-profile bowls (Fig. 11,1. 3—7; Table I, 3, Table IX, 4, Table X, 6, Table XIII, 3, Table XV, 2). The most
