So he classified the locally produced ceramics based on their colours. He could divide a yellow coloured group of late medieval ceramics, which imitates the forms of Austrian ceramics. This group was also identified in ceramic materials of other archaeological sites (e.g. Ozora castle, Felsőnyék castle, Székesfehérvár). Still it happens that this yellow type is identified as white ceramic. The white pottery was supposably produced on northeastern region of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary. In my opinion the production area of the yellow pottery was not here. Recently I had the chance to take a look at several finds from the northeastern Transdanubia. (Most of these ceramics dated to thesecond half of the 15th century and the first half of the 16th century, so my statements concern this period.) The high proportion of this yellow pottery in this region suggest local production. This is supported by excavated pottery kilns and spoiled ceramics from surrounding area of Bajna and Kecskéd. Based on these data I think we could say that is an independent pottery region (separated from the white pottery region). The workshops of the region used the same type of clay, and produced similar shaped pottery on similar technological level. In this region I could separate minimum three workshop areas. My workshop area definition contains workshops that influenced each other and they have some typical shape variations which weren’t use by other workshops of the region. It looks like that the Vértes and Gerecse mountains had separation functions in this regard. The three workshop areas are the following: Tata-Kecskéd area (west from Gerecse, north from Vértes), Székesfehérvár-Csákvár area (south from Vértes) and Bajna area (east from Vértes). This latter could be also two individual workshop areas which need further researches. The market area of the region was much bigger than the production area.

One of these pottery centres can be connected to Csákvár and its surroundings at the foot of the Vértes Mountains. The clays of the area which burn to light yellowish colour were already used in earlier periods, including the late Middle Ages. Archaeological finds show that by the 15th century a pottery region could have formed in the area, consisting of workshops producing pots of a similar design. According to the shapes, the manufactured products cannot be connected with the typical Csákvár ceramics of the modern age, which can be attributed to the nature of ethnographic collections (lack of everyday ceramics), but perhaps also to the destruction due to the Ottoman-Hungarian wars of the early modern period. However, among the pots of the area in the 16th-17th centuries, a group showing similarity in form and material to the late Middle Ages appears, but its local production has not yet been proven. The possible link between the late Middle Ages, the early modern period and the modern period may will be confirmed in the future by further material processing and scientific testing. In any case, it is certain that when examining the spread and market area of the late medieval pieces, there is a striking similarity with the data recorded by the ethnographic research, which may also mean that the modern Csákvár pottery centre had a late medieval antecedent with similar importance.

According to the presumptions, this could have been the castle of the Csák family built in the late 13th century as a predecessor of today’s castle of Gesztes. The excavations led by István Feld in 2003, and 2005–2006 uncovered almost the whole site, produced different results from what was expected. A 15th-century building was unearthed, which had three rooms and had two stoves made of stove tiles. The study aims to publish the find assemblage of the excavations.
