Károlyi Mária: A korai rézkor emlékei Vas megyében (Szombathely, 1992)
again the sherds of cooking-pots with handles and wide openings, and the sherds deriving from a big-bellied large storage vessel type the shape of which is slightly profiled; similar pieces are known in the Slovenien Early Copper Age find collections 38 . The most interesting pieces in the collection of Újperint are the cooking-pots with funnel-shaped openings, strongly broken lines, the characteristic forms of which already hint at the Lasinja culture. The broken lines used during shaping are characteristic of the Lasinja culture's early find collections unearthed in our area, and together with other manifestations this refers to the strong local roots of the Lasinja culture. Perhaps it is not by chance that at the site of Újperint we have found the latest pieces of the Lengyel culture together with the early remains of the Lasinja culture, among which the small jugs shaped with strongly broken lines are considered the most characteristic pieces of the Lasinja culture. In our area the Lasinja culture is represented by only three small find collections: besides the potteries of Újperint the finds dug up from the house-foundation uncovered at Sé and the relatively rich material of the refuse pits found at Körmend-Várkert. Among these the material of Körmend seems to be the earliest one, and it is certified by the few sherds of late Lengyel-type and by its strong connection with .the find collections of Slovenia deriving from about the same age. The small Lasinja find collection of Sé consisting of a few pieces also contained bowl-sherds of late Lengyeltype and ornamented potteries of Slovenien type among the settlement's stray finds as well. We have noticed many similarities between the pottery types of the late Lengyel and Lasinja cultures as regards their forms, therefore we have found it an interesting thing - to collect the most frequent pottery types of the two cultures relating to each other on illustrated tables and to represent them according to their sites (plate 58). We have established that nearly half of the pottery types observed in our area up to now got into the Lasinja culture' s local collections from the late Lengyel material, on the basis of which we have come to the conclusion that there is an uninterrupted transition from one culture to the other. On examining the material of the settlement at Sé it has become evident, that the finds unearthed from the settlement's early Lengyel layers are related with the Slavonian Sopot culture expanding over the western part of Croatia then over West-Transdanubia, in many respects. On the basis of the examinations of the late Lengyel find collections we think that the relation to the Sopot culture lived on during the late Lengyel periods, then it went on to exist as a relation to the early Lasinja culture developing from the Sopot culture 39 . 90
