Abstract

The Garadna-Kovács tanya site was discovered 23 years ago. However, it only returned to the spotlight in 2018, when work on the ”C” construction phase of the M30 motorway started. Beyond the excavation of the entire settlement, more than 114 thousand daub fragments (fired clay plaster remains) have been discovered over the past few years, all of which I have covered in my analysis. A main goal of analysing these finds has been to get a clearer picture of the building structures at this Roman Imperial-period settlement with the help of the impressions on the fragments, mostly by describing the walls and the roof structures.
