Abstract

An early medieval rural settlement was uncovered during the salvage excavation conducted by the Hungarian National Museum in the Nyírség region in 2011. The settlement was made up of sunken-floor houses presumably built of logs. Although the houses contained few finds, the composition of the find material is quite remarkable: in addition to the good-quality household pots turned on a slow wheel, the ceramic inventory also included more coarsely made baking lids and baking pans. The finds date the settlement to the close of the Avar period, to the 9th century.
