The locality is situated in the southwestern Slovakia, in the cadastre of Žitavany-Kňažice, district Zlaté Moravce, at the foothill of Čertov vrch, which is the part of Pohronský Inovec. An archaeological research of cremation burial ground was realised there from 1979 to 1983. The site was found by field survey. The research was done by two cooperating institutions: Nitra National Museum and the Archaeological Institute. 77 graves were excavated. The burial site belongs to the sphere of Lusatian Urnfield culture, but it has distinct manifestations of Middle-Danube Urnfield culture. The presence of elements of South-eastern Urnfield culture, which occurred sporadically, is also the new information. The grave inventory enables dating of site to the end of the late Bronze Age (HA2) and to the beginning of the final Bronze Age (HB1). The frontier between three big cultural spheres – Lusatian culture at the north, Middle-Danube Urnfield culture at the south and the southwest and Southeastern Urnfield culture at the southeast and the south was present at the territory of Slovakia. The relationships between them are most visible in the southwest Slovakia. Evaluated burial ground, on which elements of all of cultural spheres expressed themselves, enables the examination of their relationship.
