IV. Liviu Marta - Nagy L. Márta - Daniel V. Sana: Ceramics

curring only on the common household pots) are frequently encountered. The flattened, horizontal protuberances (AB) discovered in our settlement are quite few, occurring independently, in the upper part of an amphorae or embodied in a fingertip-impressed applied cordon. The horseshoe shaped protuberances (AI) have an isolated presence, occurring here on only one vessel (PI. 39/9). Close analogies, not just as ornament type but also in terms of distance, originate from Nyíregyháza-Pazonyi út, -Tesco192, this decoration element being, however, well documented in some settlements of the Suciu de Sus environment193.

Group B of Ornaments (Cordons). The vertical parallel raised cordons, the most numerous ones (BA) are present only on the body of the amphorae (PI. 8/1, 14/1). The ornament is documented in the sites of the Hajdfibagos-Cehăluţ cultural group and it continues to be used during the Ha A period within the Lăpuş II-Gáva I194 and the pre-Gáva cultural horizons195. The finger-impressed applied cordon (BB) is present on pots and on some of the bowls of Oros settlement (PI. 31/1). The ornament is well represented in the discoveries of the Hajdfibagos-Cehăluţ type196, this ornament being considered to originate from the Otomani culture197. What is interesting is that the finger-impressed applied cordon is transmitted within the Lăpuş II-Gáva I habitation horizon, only in the former area of the Hajdfibagos-Cehăluţ cultural group198, lacking from the former area of the Suciu de Sus culture199. At the same time, this ornament will continue to be used in the north of the Tisa Plain (The Great Hungarian Plain) in the discoveries dating to the Reinecke HaA (pre-Gáva) period200. The vertical cordon, ended with an angular one (BC) is present in the settlement of Oros in only one case, on the handle of a vessel (PI. 29/4). The ornament BD has a singular occurrence, too (PI. 32/5). Although the two ornaments do not occur in other settlements of the Hajdfibagos-Cehăluţ cultural group, they should not be considered as foreign, as they are complex types of ornaments, consisting of elements specific for the Hajdfibagos-Cehăluţ discoveries.
