The surface exploration on the upper stream of the Širočina was carried out as part of the project entitled Centre for the Research into the Oldest History of the Middle Danube River Basin. Its first aim was to verify, or to refine the localisation of the registered discovery sites, and try to search for other ones in the cadastral territories of individual villages. A complex survey of settlements in the area of the watercourse of the Širočina and its tributaries will serve as a basis for the topography of this territory. New sites were surveyed through GPS directly in the terrain, projected to a map and included into overall database of archaeological sources. With regard to the fact that the project as well as the surface prospection itself was limited by time, we explored just the Širočina´s upper stream. A detailed exploration, carried out as part of the project, contributed to the identification of settlement agglomeration in the area of the confluence of the Širočina and the Suchý potok. At the same time, new and so far unregistered sites were discovered (no. 29 – 42), which, together with known discovery sites, complement an overall picture of settlement in the upper stream of the Širočina from prehistory up to the Middle Ages. The explored area belongs to the whole of the Požitavská pahorkatina and thus represents a small part of the territory included in the project. The detailed surface explorations of these smaller units significantly contribute to the composition of an overall mosaic and gradual complementation of an overall picture of the settlement of Slovak highlands during prehistory and middle Ages.
