In 2009–2012, the Archaeological Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences carried out rescue researches in the south-eastern extra region of Prešov, borough of Solivar, on the hill fort rising in Chmeľové-Tichá dolina. The initial rescue research in 2009 was carried out along the lines of construction of access roads and utilities. The following rescue researches from 2010–2012 focused on prospection of ten building sites where family houses are being built. By autumn 2012, 43 settlement objects were recorded. Poly-cultural character of the site settlement is represented by objects from the Neolithic, Eneolithic, late Bronze Age and late Roman era. 25 of them correspond with the middle Eneolithic settlement by the Baden culture people. Then, a fortified settlement protected by a ditch and rampart was built in the westernmost part of the site. The results of the geophysical measuring and terrain configuration suggest that size of the fortified settlement reached 55 x 75 m at least. The eastern part of the fortification was interrupted by the settlement entrance. The placement of the Baden culture objects along the inner and outer lines of the fortification suggests organized construction of residential and farm buildings, which has no analogies available in the current state of research within the Tisza region.
