Architectural techniques in the Bronze Age tell settlement of Bakonszeg-Kádárdomb

Summary/Abstract: In the Bronze Age Ottományi/Otomani tell-type settlements, we can examine the building solutions of several centuries. In my paper, I would like to review the buildings excavated in the Bronze Age tell-type settlement of Bakonszeg-Kádárdomb, based on the different solutions used in their construction. My work is based on the drawings and diaries of an excavation carried out by Márta Sz. Máthé in 1974. Despite the small size of the 5 × 5 m trench, it provides a lot of valuable information about the different construction techniques. The wall structures and floors of the buildings were constructed using several different methods. My aim is to evaluate the data within a coherent framework in order to obtain a more complete picture of the interior of Bronze Age settlements. At the same time, I would like to try reconstructing the buildings excavated at different levels of the tell settlement on the basis of ethnographic examples and archaeological data.
