Tartalmi kivonat: | Two nearby Árpád age settlements were excavated during the preventive excavations preceding the construction of the Mercedes-Benz plant in Kecskemét. Both settlements were surrounded by ditches and were inhabited in the same period, as attested by coin finds of King Géza II (1141–1162) and King István III (1162–1172), as well as some Friesacher denars. The excavation at the Mercedes RL06 site began in 2008 with the construction of the first buildings of the car factory, when approximately half of the settlement complex was excavated by Gábor Wilhelm, Szabolcs Czifra and Attila Zsoldos. As the Mercedes Benz plant was to expand in 2017, a new opportunity arose to fully explore the site, under the supervision of the author and Mónika Skriba-Nagy. The excavated settlement complex covered an area of 10 to 11 hectares. It was surrounded by a single, deep ditch and consisted of at least eighty-two semi-subterranean houses. The other settlement documented as Mercedes RL15 was identified nearby. About half of the habitation area was uncovered during the summer of 2017. The remaining part fell outside the development area, so more research remains to be done. This village included forty-two houses and was also surrounded by a deep and wide ditch. In addition to the buildings, some outdoor ovens and various storage and refuse pits were observed. The morphology of the two settlements is extremely similar. The houses and outdoor ovens also display the same structure. Among the excavated houses, one hundred and twenty buildings had both a so-called “shaft” – a short trench leading out from one side of the building’s pit – and an oven. In case of those houses which were less damaged by the agricultural activities, it was noticeable that these shafts were, in fact, flues. Furthermore, the ovens also had narrow openings on the rear side of their wall to let out the smoke. I argue that the flue served to channel fresh air into the inner space of the house, while the draft conducted the smoke to the back of the oven and out through a smoke hole or chimney. The houses documented at the Kecskemét site and their ovens may help to answer the questions concerning smoke conduction in the Árpád age houses. These types of dwellings were previously described as hardly habitable and underdeveloped. In the future, methods of experimental archaeology might contribute to verifying the hypothesis presented in the paper. |
