Pop, Dan: The Middle Bronze Age Settlement of Petea-Csengersima (Satu Mare, 2009)
III. Archaeological inventory and interpretation of the Middle Bronze Age features
11.8. Small-sized tureen with semi-spherical body and slightly out-turned margin. It was decorated with hatched arches under the rim. It was made of fine fabric (PI. 55/8). 11.9. Tureen with lobed rim, semi-spherical body, undecorated, made of intermediary fabric (PI. 69/6). 11.10. Tureen with round margin on the inside and slightly thickened at the outside. The body was bulged and exceeded the rim diameter. It was made of intermediary fabric and lacked decorations (PI.36/8). III. Bowls 111.1. Bowls with out-turned rim, evenly thickened, semi-spherical body. They were decorated on the outside rim with pricks in the shape of rice grains or with short lines, oblique and incised. The body was decorated with hatched arcades, interlaced spirals made by incision (PI. 20/2; 36/7; 60/1-2; 54/4, 8; and likely 27/2; 29/5). According to the nature of the fabric, the base decorated by ring-shapes from pi. 54/8 belonged to the bowl from 54/4. The miniature of that type was fit with only one handle on the body, and was decorated by short, horizontal incised lines, and the lower part of the body had four feet. The vessel was decorated like the large ones (PI. 66/4). They were made of fine, intermediary fabric. 111.2. Bowl with flat margin, evenly thickened, rounded at the outside, with slightly arched body, undecorated. It was made of intermediary fabric (PI. 23/4). 111.3. Bowl with flat margin, thickened at the outside, short and arched neck, marked where it passed towards the body, semi-spherical body, decorated in the same way as the bowls of the type III.l. or the tureens of the type II.2. It was made of fine fabric (PI.20/1). 111.4. Bowl with evenly thickened margins, conical body, undecorated. They were made of intermediary fabric (PI. 1/4; 60/4; likely 54/3). IV. Cups. IV. 1. Cup with evenly thickened margin, out-turned, short, cylindrical neck, bulged body (PI. 17/4; 33/8 - with the rim decorated by small pricks in the shape of rice grain, the body had incisions; 48/15; 65/4). IV.2. Cup with slightly out-turned margin, short, conical neck, conical body decorated by small, oval sockets and fluting. It had a strap handle, slightly upper-raised (PI. 33/6). IV. 3. Cup with ,,S”-shaped profile. It had an upper-raised strap handle. The body was decorated by incisions (PI.67/1). The fragments of the more or less bulged body were decorated by spirals (PI. 5/7; 9/8) or by vertical, incised lines (PI. 5/6). The fragment of the bi-conical body of a cup was marked where it passed towards the neck by a small, circular impression (PI. 19/6). The fragments of the body and handles belonged to some cups, too (PI.19/8; 26/4-7; 44/4-5; 48/12; 49/1-2; 65/5-6, 8; 67/4; 69/7-8). All those cups were made of fine fabric. V. Mugs Only some fragments that originate from such vessels were preserved (PI.2/ 6, 8; 11/6; 25/13; 34/3; 40/3; 48/14). Some of them were decorated and made of fine, intermediary fabric. VI. Strainers VI. 1. Strainers with bulged body and upper-raised strap handle, with the margins evenly thickened and inverted. The holes were only in the bulged part of the body (PI. 3/1). VI.2. Strainers with round margins or thickened at the outside. Their body was slightly arched and some of them had a handle in the upper part of the body. The holes were present over the entire surface of the body (PI.5/9; 32/6; 49/5). VI.3. Strainers or „ember coverer” with evenly thickened margin and arched body (PI. 14/6). VI. 4. Strainers with short walls, with the margins evenly thickened and inverted. They had a strap handle which had been broken from old times; only the base had holes, the walls had not (PI. 24/6; 45/7). They were all made of intermediary fabric. VII. Portable cooking vessels Although there are many fragments that can be assigned to this type of pottery, only three fragments originate from the upper part of the vessels, thus offering the possibility to restore two 16
