The paper offers information about the results of the archaeological research which was accomplished during the construction of the hypermarket TESCO in the village Smižany (district Spišská Nová Ves). The excavated feature can by most probably interpreted as a sunken-floor house. Based on similar analogies from the archaeological sites in the Spiš region and other regions of Slovakia, the excavated findings and the feature itself can be dated to the 8th to 9th century. The archaeological findings from the aforementioned period discovered in the cadastre of Smižany are not rare and are known from the settlements and to a lesser extent from burial grounds. All Early Medieval settlements probably belonged under the administration of the central Čingov hillfort situated in the Slovak Paradise. The analysis of ceramics deposited at the Institute of Archaeology of the SAS – Research department in Spišská Nová Ves pointed out the necessity to revise the ceramic findings from the Spiš region dated to the Early Medieval period and also the necessity to publish all archaeological findings that came from closed finding features
