This paper focuses on the analysis and interpretation of the ceramic material discovered in 2007 during the excavations of the site Baks-Temetőpart (Csongrád County). This was the first time when an excavation took place on this previously researched Late Bronze Age site, resulting a rather intense amount of finds. The most significant part of the material consists of ceramic fragments (approximately 4000 pieces), which are kept in the Móra Ferenc Museum in Szeged. The pottery as evaluated typologically and correspondence analysis as a statistical method was also applied. The results from these methods are specifically meant for this particular material, which indicates that a further study or a larger amount of ceramic fragments can in some extent affect the conclusions described below.
