Régészettudomány - Magdolna Vicze - Nagyrév symbolism revisited: Three decorated vessels from Százhalombatta and Dunaújváros

I hope that in due time more and more finds will be published then the definition of categories could be made more clearly and detailed. Regardless of the fact that these have not been grouped now, in my understanding they do not alter, but rather emphasise the over all concept presented above. At the beginning of this paper I mentioned that these symbols recur on different materials and objects in varying techniques. This means that the same range of visual imagery extends to other media. See for example the incised boar's tusk or the plastic ornamentation on the wall from Tiszaug.
