ENEOLITICKÉ NÁLEZY Z LOKALITY NIŽNÁ MYŠĽA, POLOHA VÁRHEGY

The paper focuses on evaluation of pottery fragments from the Middle Eneolithic from Nižná Myšľa, Várhegy site (Košice-okolie district). They were discovered in the area of settlement I of the Otomani-Füzesabony cultural complex, in trenches I – III/2018, in the mixed bottom layer of weathered loess. In the evaluated assemblage, finds of the Boleráz decorative style or the Boleráz-early classical style of the Baden cultural complex typical of the interface of stages Baden I/II prevail. Fragments of a bowl whose atypically everted rim and decoration cannot be identified with the Boleráz or Baden pottery styles are evaluated as a foreign cultural element. Profile of the rim of the preserved vessel fragment is similar to the Coţofeni culture pottery, whose development reflects also other intercultural features. Some of them, such as the identification-decorative code of corded ornaments, can be derived from the genesis of the Pit Grave culture’s population. Torsos of pottery products with features of the Coţofeni and Pit Grave cultures have been identified in the Slovak territory of the Upper Tisza region at several localities dated to the Middle Eneolithic. It is probably not a result of an accidental phenomenon that similar pottery finds come mainly from the southern regions of the studied territory.
