Mezőkövesd-Mocsolyás

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mezőkövesd-Mocsolyás is a settlement of Alföld linear ceramics near Mezőkövesd in northern Hungary . It was excavated in the course of rescue excavations from the route of the M3 motorway and belongs to the Szatmár phase .

Findings

On a small island in the marshland lay the remains of three burned houses, which are only indicated by clay , post holes are almost completely missing. The houses measured 7 × 12 and 9 × 12 m. A well also belonged to the settlement.

Finds

Ceramics, loom weights, grinding and grinding stones, implements made of obsidian and bone were found in the houses. The ceramic is partially painted or decorated with slip ( barbotine ). Tonal altars, a tonhorn, and human figurines can indicate ritual activities. The figurines mostly have triangular faces and some of them have remnants of red paint. The so-called centaur figures. have parallels in Füzesabony-Gubakút . Here, however, the eyelets are missing, instead some figures have handles. Spatulae with arms made from beef ribs are common and have parallels in the Vinča culture as well as in the oldest LBK .

Burials

To the southeast of the houses was a semicircle of 25 burials. The stool burials were mostly oriented to the southeast. Among the grave goods were spondyle beads and ceramics, as well as an imitation of a spondyle bead made of clay. As part of the AHRC- funded Isotope Project by Alasdair Whittle and Penny Bickle , samples were taken from the teeth of 13 individuals, eleven adults and two adolescents. Most of the buried showed a local Sr signature.
