Régészet - Soós, Eszter et al.: Settlement and graves from Hernádvécse (NE-Hungary) in the 5th century AD: relation of living space and burial place in the Hun Period
62 Soós, Eszter—Bárány, Annamária—Köhler, Kitti—Pusztai, Tamás bowls from the settlement are similar with elongated, curved rim and sharp profiles. The bowls with S-profile appeared in the Pannonian late Roman material. In a pottery kiln of Pilismarót— Malompatak there were also these types of bowls, made both as fineware and as coarse ware (Ottományi 1996, 83, Abb. 3, Typ 8-12, Abb. 4, Typ. 13,16). The form also occurs at late Sarmatian settlements in a lower proportion (Párducz 1959, 338). The best analogy of the bowls from Hernádvécse can be discovered north of the Danube in Bohemian and Moravian territories.20 1/1.3. Biconical bowl (Fig. 11, I. 8, Table VII, 5). A fragment of a large, biconical bowl decorated with a smoothed-in grid pattern on the belly and double vertical zig-zag lines between vertical glazed surfaces on the neck. The wide, deep biconical bowls were unknown in Roman provincial and local Barbarian territories as well. The earliest appearance of the type could be observed in province of Pannonia in the last third of the 4th century AD (Ottományi 1991; Ottományi 1996, 97—98, Abb. 5, 29; Hárshegyi-Ottományi 2013, Fig. 3, 5). It was widespread in the territories of Pannonia I and north of the Danube in the middle of the 5th century AD (Ottományi-Sosztarics 1998, 179, 184, Friesinger-Kerchler 1981, Peskar 1983; Rybová 1976). In the middle third of the 5th century AD, this bowl type common in the northwest part of the Carpathian Basin (Friesinger-Kerchler 1981; Tejral 1985,141, Abb. 23, Abb 24/1-5; Horváth 2011, 631) also appeared in the eastern of the region, beside Hernádvécse at the site Onga—Teknő lapos (Soós 2014, 191-192, III. t. 2, VIII. t. 4) and Ártánd (В. Tóth 2006, 83-85, Taf. 5,1). 1/2. Pots No complete pieces remained in the settlement. Their bottoms are varied, simple flat and disc-shaped base also occurred. An identifiable piece was a fragment of a pot widening in the upper third (Fig. 11, II. 1, Table XIII, 1), similar to the grainy wheel-turned pots. The rim fragments can be divided into several groups. 1/2.1. Pots with a horizontal rim and cylindrical neck (Fig. 11, II. 2, Table III, 10). The form is similar to the late Sarmatian storage vessels. 1/2.2. Pots with a curved rim and neck (Fig. 11, II. 3-5, Table V, 6, Table XI, 6, Table XV, 4). This form was absent from the late Roman Age Barbarian sites but 20 Wien-Aspern (Tejral 1985, Abb. 18, 4, 6) and Veiké Nemcice (PeSkar 1983, Abb. 4, 6-7). was produced and widespread in provincial territories (Horváth 2011, 638—639, Abb 17). It was the most common pottery form in Danube Bend (Ottományi 2009, 423). While in Hernádvécse the smoothed-in ornamentation was absent, the decorated pots were widespread in provincial territories. 1/2.3. Conical pots (Fig. 11, II. 6—8, Table V, 1, Table XIV, 2). These pots are similar to the rough, grainy cookware, the grooved rims are curved the upper parts are conical. 1/2.4. Biconical vessel (Fig. 11, II. 9, Table III, 7). Only one biconical vessel or pot came to the light in Hernádvécse. A similar, grainy glazed pot with engraved wavy lines is known from Intercisa (Bóna 1991, 178, Fig. 67/7). 1/3. Jugs Several fragments of spherical jugs were found in the site, the biconical forms are missing. The handles were started from the rib under the rim and ended on the bowl (Fig. 11, III. 1—2, Table VI, 1, Table XI, 8). The curved rims are thickening. The decorations of the vessels were smoothed, vertical zig-zag lines between sleekened surfaces on the neck (Table I, 5, Table V, 8, Table VI, 4, Table VIII, 1, Table X, 1, Table XV, 5) or plain smoothed grid pattern (Table I, 2, Table XI, 8) common in the late Roman Age as well. The analogy of a Murga-type jug with narrow, cylindrical neck (Table XI, 8) is known from Tiszavasvári (Istvánovits 1999, Pl. I, 1, Pl. X, 1-2, Pl. XVI, 5, Pl. XXIV, 2, Pl. LII, 5). The other jug with wide rim decorated with smoothed-in zig-zag lines on the shoulder (Table VIII, 1) has analogies in Moravian territories (Tejral 1985, Abb. 16, 4). Very similar jugs with corresponding decoration were found in settlement at Sajószentpéter-Vasúti őrház dated to the periods D2-D3 (Tóth 2013, VIII. t, X. 1. 7, 9, XII. t. 1). 1/4. Storage vessel A bigger fragment of a storage vessel was found in pit Str.187. The upper part of the spherical dish was decorated with wavy lines between wide engraved lines, the lower part was roughly rubbed by hand (Table XIV, 1). From the ceramic material of the roman fort in Tokod and the watchtower near Leányfalu similar vessels are known (Lányi 1981, 78-79, Abb. 17; Ottományi 1991, 13—14). The rough surface treatment of the lower parts of the vessels was typical to the Gepidic pottery (B. Tóth 2006, 115-116).
