Gyucha Attila: Later Scythian age settlement vestigen from Békés County

Újabb szkíta kori telepnyomok Békés megyéből Later Scythian age settlement vestiges from Békés County - Attila Gyucha Résumé We have described in our dissertation two scythian age features found during the near past disclosures in Békés County. The bone objects found near the typical, multicoloured ceramic materials and the fragment of an object - that could be regarded as a lid to cover glowing embers - make the materials of the Gyulavári pit interesting. We have found two children skeletons in the settlement pit in Csárdaszállás. Similar occurence has been observed also in several places on the settlements of the Alföld (Great Plain) group. In the second part of our article we have summarized the very modest past results of the scythian age settlement researches in the Alföld (Great Plain) and in our Békés County region. After that we summarized the deductions of the results of the completed settlement survey in the Norhtern regions of the county and we established that the center of the settlement area moved to southern direction - to the border of the Körös Valley and the Mezőség as well as to the Mezőség region - compared to the Late Bronz Age.
