Ceramic technology and social process in Late Neolithic Hungary
Interpreting silent artefacts: …, 2009
By means of ceramic petrography this paper examines technological aspects of Late Neolithic Lengyel Culture ceramics from three settlements in southern Hungary and considers their implications in terms of social complexity. The petrography of several vessel types is compared in order to assess possible similarities and differences in manufacturing technology at the Neolithic settlements. The results show that there are extensive ceramic technological similarities between the sites, particularly within some cups, mugs, bowls and jars. It seems that not only was it important that these vessels should look similar, but that they were made in a similar manner. These findings indicate that potters at the three different sites had similar understanding of the properties of raw materials and also had a high degree of common knowledge and a similar approach to the fabrication of these vessels. The technological similarity between some of the cups, mugs, jars and bowls suggests that they were specialised products and their production may have been standardised. Other pottery styles such as pedestalled bowls and storage or cooking vessels, exhibit differences in technological practice between similar vessel types, suggesting the existence of intrasite technological traditions.
Crafting difference: Early Neolithic (Körös culture) ceramic traditions in north-east Hungary
The aim of this paper is to assess and compare the ceramic technological practices of the Körös culture settlements in Ibrány, Méhtelek-Nádas and Nagykörü-Tsz.-Gyümölcsös in north-east Hungary. By means of ceramic petrographic analysis this paper examines the technological aspects of Körös culture ceramics. The technology of several vessel types is compared in order to assess possible similarities and differences in their manufacturing technology. The results are compared with the data from previous studies on Neolithic pottery in order to situate the results of this study in a wider archaeological context and provide a better understanding of Neolithic ceramic traditions. In this study possible patterns in technological choices are assessed. It will be explored whether there are technological choices that show consistency, and are reproduced through time and space within each examined settlement. Possible technological patterns, which were practiced consistently, are viewed as the outcome of a technological tradition. If technological differences can be identified, and is seen as distinctive to a specific settlement, then it follows that by comparing several technological traditions within the Körös culture it may be possible to distinguish between the different social dynamics of Neolithic communities. If similar technological patterns are recognizable between the examined settlements, then it indicates the existence of a complex social relationship between the communities.

The Late Neolithic period (5000–4500 BCE) of the Carpathian Basin is characterised by two major cultural complexes: the Lengyel culture inwestern Hungary and the Tisza–Herpály–Csőszhalomcomplex in eastern Hungary. The occupation area of the two cultural complexes had a ‘common border’ along a large area in recent northern Hungary, from the Danube River to the Upper Tisza River region. Their relationships are indicated in the mixed nature of their material culture, settlement types and mortuary practices. The focus of this paper is the site of Aszód-Papi földek, whichwas situated in the borderlands. A peculiarity of this site is that a considerable number of the ceramic finds represent typological forms and decorations characteristic of both the Lengyel and Tisza cultures. Lengyel and Tisza ceramics appear together in the settlement features and graves, and no spatial or chronological distinction has been identified between themor the features containing them. The number of Tisza and Lengyel vessels appearing together indicates that this site could have been a meeting point for the cultures. The mixed nature of the ceramic assemblage at Aszód therefore has profound implications concerning the cultural relationships in Late Neolithic Hungary. In order to better understand Lengyel and Tisza relationships at Aszód, ceramic petrographic analyses were carried out on 68 ceramic samples from the site and on seven local sediment samples. The results indicate that both Lengyel and Tisza vesselswere made fromlocally available rawmaterials, and there was no technological distinction between them. Only stylistic features can be used to distinguish between Lengyel and Tisza vessels. The similarities between Lengyel and Tisza ceramic technologies could only have existed if there was a more complex social relationship and interaction between the people and communities who produced these two pottery styles than has previously been assumed. The results are also compared with other, previously analysed, sites, showing that the ceramic technology at Aszód corresponds wellwith technological results from other Late Neolithic sites. The Late Neolithic period witnessed considerable changes in ceramic technology, namely a sharp increase in grog tempering and also a sharp decrease in chaff tempering. These changes distinguish this period from the Early and Middle Neolithic in Hungary, which are also represented at Aszód.
Öcsöd-Kováshalom and the Neolithic ceramic technological tradition in Hungary
From tea leaves to leaf-shaped tools STUDIES IN HONOUR OF ZSOLT MESTER ON HIS SIXTIETH BIRTHDAY, 2023
The Early and Late Neolithic artefact assemblages of ÖcsödKováshalom represent 700 years of nearly continuous local development during the Neolithic period. This study focuses on the temporal dynamics of ceramic transformations, that occurred in diferent paces concerning the forms, forming techniques and decoration of vessels. Decoration, as a device of social communication, displayed great variability in space and time. Vessel forms, constrained partly by function, rather responded to eriodically occurring regional trends. The technological system had been following new claims and challenges only partially; it preserved archaic elements that eventually contributed to the formation of the Late Neolithic Tisza Culture. The character of the examined ceramic material prohibits us from reconstructing entire chaînes opératoires. The samples ofer a set of identifed technological markers, that refer to several characteristics of the manufacturing process within the technological system, represented by the artefacts.

The present study is concerned with an attempt to clarify the different views that have been put forward over time concerning the issue of the early and middle Neolithic in Macedonia, particularly our research concerning the similarities between the Neolithic sites in Macedonia with those from Transylvania. The analyses of the four Neolithic phases compares all the attributes of the ceramics such as the vessel categories, their colours, fabrics, surface finish, types of firing, shapes, painted and non-painted decoration and barbotine, in order to establish any similarities with Transylvanian Neolithic pottery. PHASE I Vessel Categories For the analyses of the evolution of ceramics based on phases we have made extractions regarding the correlations between the different sites in Macedonia and Transylvania. Table 1 and fig.1 1 list the categories of vessels from sites in Macedonia 2 and Transylvania 3
