Gubakút40 and Mezőkövesd-Mocsolyás41 pottery finds. Beside the general characteristics, our analysed materials have been less similar to ceramics of Tiszaszőlős-Aszópart,42 Tiszavalk- Négyes43 or Tiszacsege-Homokbánya, Rétközberencs-Paromdomb and Ebes-Agyagbánya.44 It possibly could be explained by their different chronological position within the ALP 1 phase or by their diverse micro-regional styles.

In the author’s opinion, painted ornaments of Novajidrány and Szentistvánbaksa partially have been different from published examples of Slavkovce45 and Moravany.46 It also could be explicated by chronological reasons47 but a slightly diverse cultural background is thinkable, too.48

47 These sites are thought to be earlier than Novajidrány and Szentistvánbaksa settlements.

48 See the opinion of J. K. Koziowski and M. Nowak: “Some groups expanded from the middle/northern Tisza areas towards the north and reached the Kosice basin. Other groups moved from the Transylvania or rather Crişana in the north-western direction to what is now Transcarpathian Ukraine and north-eastern part of Hungary, and further on to the Eastern Slovakian Lowland” (Kozlowski/Nowak 2010, 87/89).
