The research of gallows, which are part of larger execution sites, has not yet been widely used in Slovakia. The interest of the professional public lies rather on the basis of excerpts from historical sources for the exercise of criminal law in individual settlements. In Western European countries, execution research is of long-term interest of an interdisciplinary nature. This paper brings summarizing findings related to research on execution sites in Europe for their deeper penetration into the professional environment in Slovakia. At the same time, it provides opportunities to use existing historical and archaeological sources in the interpretation of execution sites located in the modern cultural landscape of Slovakia. Historical map data are of great importance for the location of execution sites, from which we obtain important spatial data by mutual comparison. The research from the position of landscape archaeology brings knowledge about the heterogeneous nature of objects occurring in execution sites and the very unique character of the spiritual culture associated with these areas. This finding is substantiated by our own field research of localized execution sites in the Gemer-Malohont region. The authors consider it important that future research into execution sites become an integral part of post-medieval archaeology.
