Marta, Livius et al.: The Late Bronze Age Settlement of Nyíregyháza-Oros „Úr Csere” (Satu Mare, 2010)
IV. Liviu Marta - Nagy L. Márta - Daniel V. Sana: Ceramics
Type 1 brings together the pots with vertical or slightly oblique walls, with a flat or slightly rounded rim, present in two distinct variants, differentiated through their shape. Variant 1A includes the tall items, with slightly oblique walls, almost cone-shaped and with flat mouth (PL 2/2, 18/4, 21/2, 25/4, 31/1, 38/5). The decoration consists of applied protuberances, arranged right below the rim, the most frequent ones being slightly flattened, fitted with two punches (motif AE). The conical knobs (motif A A) or the flattened, simple ones (motif AB), associated, in one single case, with a finger impressed appliqué belt (PI. 31/1), are more rare. The simplicity of its shape and decoration made it widely spread beyond the Hajdfibagos-Cehăluţ environment. Analogies for our items come from the necropolis of Hajdúbagos67, or from Valea lui Mihai68, Pişcolt - Nisipărie, Acâş69, Cehei70, Crasna71, Nyírlugos72. This shape continued its existence in the subsequent stages73. Variant IB is represented by a single pot, lacking any decoration, discovered in the pit number 13 (PI. 4/5). The vessel, one of the very few complete items discovered in this settlement, has a short body, vertical walls and slightly rounded rim. Its uniqueness in the entire area of the Hajdfibagos-Cehăluţ cultural group and the context in which it was discovered suggest a special destination of this vessel. Type 2 includes pots with curved body and out curved-rim, clearly separated from the rest of the vessel through an accentuated shoulder. It also has two distinct variants. Variant 2A includes pots with strongly arched body and slightly out-curved rim, clearly separated from the rest of the vessel through an accentuated shoulder, adorned with either conical (AA) or flattened and almost vertically oriented (motif AF) knobs, located in its upper part (PI. 29/6, 34/1 37/7) or with horseshoe-shaped knobs (PI. 39/9). Variant 2B does not include very many discoveries. It groups however, the pots with slightly arched body, tall neck and out curving mouth (PI. 9/3, 11/6, 39/8). The decoration consists of applied knobs, arranged on the shoulder of the vessel, either simple, conical (motif AA) or flattened and thumb impressed (motif AE). 67 Kovács 1970, PI. 2/12,18. 68 Németi 1978, PI. 4/3; Kacsó 1997, Pl.
