út, -Tesco92. More numerous are, however, the discoveries made in the area of the Suciu de Sus93 culture, occurring sometimes in settlements where a mixture of materials belonging to the two types of cultural manifestation can be noticed94. The bi-conical pots continued to be used during the HaA period, within the pre-Gáva95 type of discoveries.

Type 5, represented by very few pots, includes vessels with curved body, coneshaped neck and flat rim (PI. 16/6, 31/2). Some of the items have the handles placed at the top, just below the rim. The fragmentary state of our findings prevents us from doing a more detailed morphological analysis of this type of vessel. The few analogies for this type of vessel originate, for the Hajdfibagos-Cehăluţ milieu, from Crasna96. Vessels similar in shape, but decorated or provided with protuberances, were discovered at Demecer - Borzsova-puszta97, Csallány98 and Kék99. The most numerous analogies are offered by the Piliny100 culture, the pots assigned to this culture having, however, in most cases, ornaments and protuberances and handles located below the area with the maximum diameter. The pots with curved body and cone-shaped neck continue to be used in the subsequent stages, appearing among the finds made in the area of the Kyj atice culture101.

Portable Cooking Vessels

The so-called portable cooking vessels are containers that include in their morphology a pot and two legs joined by an arch-shaped band of clay.

This type of vessels was identified in large number in the settlement of Oros, representing a percentage of 21.71% of all forms of vessels identified102. Only a small number

102 It can be assumed that this percentage is higher compared with that of the degree of shape use, because the shape is more easily identified among the ceramic fragments, given the presence of certain specific morphological features (feet, arches and the areas where they join with the recipient).
