The Füzesabony-Gubakút Settlement Development Model of the Alföld Linear Pottery Culture in the Light of the Recent Archaeological Discoveries at Hejőpapi-Szeméttelep (2008-2011) and Bükkábrány-Bánya VII -Vasúti Dűlő (2009-2011)

Abstract

The füzesabony-gubakút settlement development model of the alföld linear pottery culture in the light of the recent archaeological discoveries at hejőpapi-szeméttelep (2008-2011) and bükkábrány-bánya vii -vasúti dűlő (2009-2011) AbstractThanks to the extensive excavations that have been going on since the mid 1990s, archaeological research has managed to gain a greater insight into the settlement history of the ALPC. The large linear settlements and neatly arranged house-pitgrave ensembles offered an excellent opportunity to examine the relative and absolute chronology of the settlements and to gain an understanding of the settlements' internal development mechanism. The ALPC settlement development model on micro, mezo and macro scales was based on our key site of Füzesabony-Gubakút and its microregion in the southern Heves area. The most recent excavation results from Hejőpapi-Szeméttelep and Bükkábrány-Bánya VII -Vasúti dűlő in the Borsod area should be considered excellent test data for our model, as these sites were excavated in almost their entirety. As the processing of the finds from these excavations is still to come, the test in question is only really relevant for the structure of the settlement. Even so it is possible to draw serious conclusions from the data we already have.Keywords: excavation, chronology, carpathian basin, neolithic settlements, körös culture Journal of Historical Archaeology & Anthropological SciencesResearch ArticleOpen AccessThe füzesabony-gubakút settlement development model of the alföld linear pottery culture in the light of the recent archaeological discoveries at hejőpapi-szeméttelep (2008-2011) and bükkábrány-bánya vii -vasúti dűlő (2009-2011)

Patterns of social practices and activities in the early ALPC settlement of Bükkábrány-Bánya VII (Northeast-Hungary)

“…László Domboróczki proposed the Füzesabony-Gubakút Settlement Development Model (hereinafter FGSDM) at the foothills of the North Hungarian Mountains based on his research in the Füzesabony area, supplemented with the results of complementary excavations. Despite its initial shortcomings, the model fits well into the LBK settlement network and settlement structure transformations (Domboróczki 2009;Domboróczki et al 2017). László Domboróczki excavated traces of characteristic (5-6 m wide, 12-16 m long) timber-framed buildings at the Füzesabony site and reconstructed a special settlement structure based on long pits, burials, and other features (Domboróczki 2009).…”

“…More early ALPC sites at the foothills of the North Hungarian Mountains have been discovered in the last three decades: Füzesabony-Gubakút (Domboróczki 1999), Mezőkövesd-Mocsolyás (Kalicz and Koós 1997), Bükkábrány-Bánya VII (Kalli and Tutkovics 2016), and Hejőpapi-Szemétlerakó (Domboróczki et al 2017). These sites enriched our understanding of the Middle Neolithic period not only due to their specific geographical location.…”

“…These sites enriched our understanding of the Middle Neolithic period not only due to their specific geographical location. Largescale excavations there revealed contiguous settlement sections that fundamentally changed our perception of early Linear Pottery communities (Domboróczki 2009;Domboróczki et al 2017). Füzesabony, Mezőkövesd, Hejőpapi, and the previously studied Bük- kábrány early ALPC settlements formed a single settlement network in the foothill area of the North Hungarian Mountains, 15 km apart.…”

“…6-7): triangular-headed idols, animal figurines with square bodies, and so-called centaurs (embodying a combination of the two) made up a characteristic segment of early ALPC assemblages (Domboróczki 2005;Csengeri 2013). With the sites Füzesabony-Gubakút (hereinafter Füzesabony, Domboróczki 1999), Mezőkövesd-Mocsolyás (hereinafter Mezőkövesd, Kalicz and Koós 1997), and Hejőpapi-Szemétlerakó (hereinafter Hejőpapi; Domboróczki et al 2017), the assemblage can be classified into the typochronological group of the early ALPC (ALPC1). We have 11 AMS dates from Bükkábrány that allow us to estimate its lifespan as 250-280 years, between 5470-5210 BC, though two outlier measurements move this period up to 5050 BC (Tab.…”

Prehistory of Košice – settlement in the Neolithic

“…38 Adaptation to these new natural conditions caused changes in nutritional strategies, which were also reflected in abstract thinking. In the period of transition from the Körös culture to the Alföld Linear Pottery culture (Szatmár group), people started to fashion figurines of cattle and so-called "sacred horns", 39 as documented at the sites of the Szatmár group in Füzesabony-Gubakút 40 and in Mezőkövesd-Mocsolyás. 41 Reliefs of bull heads and human figures decorating a storage jar of the Proto-Linear stage from the site of Košice-Červený rak have been associated, by Šiška, 42 with the Körös culture or the Szatmár group.…”
