Summary/Abstract: The present study describes and reconstructs the architecture of Bronze Age Houses G and H from Borsodivánka-Marhajárás-Nagyhalom, Northeastern Hungary. The site was investigated in the frame of the Borsod Region Bronze Age Settlement (BORBAS) project. Beyond the information on these two buildings derived from the excavation, we will also incorporate the results of scientific studies, micromorphology and phytoliths analysis conducted on the architectural remains and vernacular architectural parallels. Due to the tell character of the site and the burnt condition of the investigated layer, inner divisions, wall decoration made from daub and some other important architectural elements were preserved in situ and form the basis of the reconstruction.
