TANULMÁNYOK — ABHANDLUNGEN EXCAVATIONS AT BICSKE I. THE EARLY NEOLITHIC - THE EARLIEST LINEAR BAND CERAMIC To the memory of Ferenc Tompa und Boliumil Soudsky Introduction — The History of the Excavations Archaeological work at Bicske, one of the most important neolithic sites of Transdanubia, began some five decades ago. In 1931, Jakab Keller, owner of a small land parcel in the vineyard of Galagonyás began the construction of a small wine cellar in the southwestern end of his property^). During the course of this construction a number of inhumation graves were uncovered, although the exact number is uncertain. Presently, it is possible to see in the wall of the cellar, the partially destroyed remains of two such graves. Following the discovery of these graves Arnold Marosi of the István Király Museum of Székesfehérvár undertook two excavations at the site. The first one was in 25 — 27 October 1932, on the property of József Kelemen, southwest from the wine cellar graves( 2 ). In fact, these excavations were carried out (1) Land parcel register number 6810, at present in the property of Mr. I. Acs-Keller. (2) On parcels register numbers 6819 and 6820. Field notes in the István Király Museum, Székesfehérvár do not contain any dates on these excavations. Some uncertain and unverifiable dates have been published on graves found during cellar construction and on the exact place of A. Marosi's 1932 excavations in J. L. JAKAB, Bicske története (History of Bicske). Bicske, 1969, fig. 3. between pages 152 and 153, p. 160, note 268. — The time of the first Bicske excavation was determined asl931byÉ. F. PETRES, Ujabb-kőkori sírok Bicskén. FolArch, VI, 1954, 22; ID. Neolithic graves at Bicske. IKMK, A/9, 1959, 5, and later by J. MAKKAY, A bicskei neolitikus telep és temető (Neolithic site and cem,etery at Bicske). IKMK, D/104, 1975, 9. — The exact year was 1932. not in the cemetery portion of the site, but rather as A. Marosi states on the settlement area( 3 ). The second excavation was carried out from 18 September until 28 October 1933. Excavations were carried out on the neighbouring parcel of land lying southeast from land parcel register number 6810( 4 ). At this time seven Late Neolithic graves and other settlement features were uncovered and Marosi subsequently published a short article on his findings( 5 ). The next excavation took place late in the year 1959, in response to the construction of the new highway between Budapest and Győr. This construction cut the southern end of the peninsular shaped vineyard, some 40 — 45 meters south from the site of the first excavations in 1932—1933. This road cut had a width of 50 meters, probably destroying large sections of the archaeological site, and isolating the head of the peninsula from the other portions of the Neolithic site. Collections of surface sherds show that this newly separated southern part of the peninsula also belonged to the Neolithic settlement. Rescue (3) A.
