Excavations of a multicultural settlement site at Cicarovce in 1998 revealed a prehistoric settlement. Two features of the Raskovce group contained pottery with black painted decoration. Three settlement features with pottery, stone and bone implements and animal bones belong to the proto-Tiszapolgar phase. Half-globular protrusions dominated in decoration of pottery, which consisted of bowls, plate-shaped vessels, cups, glasses, lids, pots and storage vessels. First radiocarbon dating of the Polgar culture in Eastern Slovakia: 5745 ± 35 BP, calibrated 4607 ± 55 BC (VERA 2094). Two features, in which pottery decorated with the pointed protrusions and impressed dots was found, belong to the Tiszapolgar group later phase. Bowls are prevailing in finds, in association with the cups, glasses, lids, pots and a ladle. In stone industry obsidian is slightly predominating over Volhynian flint. Seven features and a ditch were classed as belonging to the Nyirseg-Zatin culture earlier phase, for which pottery decorated with white-inlaid notches (bowls, jugs) and without engraved decoration with the straw imprints (bowls, cups, amphorae, pots) are typical. An earthen mock-up of house, small earthen wheels, stone and bone artefacts, copper wire, animal bones and shells were found here as well. The Suciu de Sus and Gava cultures were represented mostly by the pottery finds.
