Katalin Almássy: New data on the Celto-Dacian relationship in the Upper Tisza Region

The Kállósemjén settlement was discovered at the beginning of the 20

th c, when - in the course of agricultural work - Late Iron Age pottery fragments were found there. Starting in 1994, we made several attempts to identify the old site on field surveys, and in 1996 I also conducted a small-scale test excavation. I opened sections at two ends and in the middle of a 200-metre-long axis. Iron Age and Imperial Period features were found only at the southern end (fig. 2), which resembles a terrace on the southern end of a mostly north-south directed range of mounds (fig. 3). (At the site we also found material of the Early Bronze Age and material of the 8

th-9

th c. In the following I do not deal with these features.) Fig. 2 Kállósemjén-Forrás tanya: Celtic and Imperial Period
