The aim of this article is to present some thoughts on a specific type of archaeological sources within a diverse collection of art depicting humans and animals in the Neolithic (New Stone Age). From the aspect of artistic representation, these artifacts reach their climax in the time when first agricultural cultures appear. Besides taking their different cultural and chronological character into consideration, the goal of this work is to present them in the light of the latest discoveries and information.

Settlement of the young Linear Pottery culture in the Zvolenská kotlina basin was first documented in the mid-20th c. The finds, however, were sporadic and unstratified; they were discovered during major construction works mainly in the southern part of the town’s residential area. The source fund was gradually extended with collected finds from the northern part of the town, the elevated terrace of the Hron river, the site of Podborová, which is famous for prehistorical multicultural settlement. Settlement features are unfortunately, very rare in most cases, since this part of the town was intensely built-up with blocks of flats or family houses and new construction activities are only occasional. First Neolithic features were detected at the site of Podborová as late as the 21st c. A rescue archaeological research carried out by the Department of Archaeology of the Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra in 2011 brought a rich new fund of sources containing pottery fragments, small clay items, chipped stone industry and daub. Although the number of artifacts is considerably high, they were found in the filling of only two features. In spite of this fact, a complex analysis of the discovered finds enabled us to make conclusions regarding relative chronology and genesis of the studied culture in the central Hron river region. Occurrence of the Bükk culture decorative ornament which has not been reliably documented in the central Hron river basin is an important new fact. Distant contacts of the settlement’s population are documented by rich chipped stone industry which (in case of flint and sub-Kraków Jurassic silicite) comes from the sources sometimes a few hundred kilometres far.

The contribution seeks to present the newest finds of recessed medieval cupola ovens in Nitra region. The finds were excavated by the Department of Archaeology at the Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra. The paper provides a detailed analysis of a system of three connected recessed cupola ovens from Nitra, Dolné Krškany and a recessed single-chamber cupola oven with entry steps from Svätoplukovo. The material from this locality dates back to the second half of the 11th until the beginning of the 13th century. In Slovakia, their concentration is significant predominantly in the Nitra region; therefore, the paper attempts to evaluate these ovens in the context of analogous finds known from other medieval settlements in the region. In conclusion, the contribution also interprets their possible function and usage.

The aim of this article is to present results of the rescue excavations carried out in spring 2016 at the site of Lúčna district in Detva, where settlement from the end of the Bronze Age had been discovered. The article presents finds discovered during the removal of the topsoil and monitoring of excavated foundations of a detached house at building plot no. 7381/27 in the residential area of Detva. In the corner of the building plot with area of approx. 10 m2, a rich cultural layer and ground plan of a quadratic structure with an oven in the interior were uncovered. Dating of the settlement to the Late Bronze Age is enabled by fragments of various smaller and bigger mostly thick-walled vessels and pottery with high-quality black burnished surface including slanted as well as vertical flutings. It is a newly discovered settlement corresponding with the known prehistoric hillfort of Detva-Kalamárka, which is approx. 5 km north of the studied site.

Archaeology is a discipline that interprets the past; therefore, it is not common practice to use archaeology and archaeological methods in police or forensic investigation. In Slovakia, archaeologists are called to attend the body scene of skeletonized remains in some regions only rarely and that can often lead to the destruction of historical heritage or desecration of human remains. Such handling of human remains is visible on the case report discussed in the article, where unknown culprits disposed human remains from their original unknown place. Forensic archaeology is commonly used in such cases in the United Kingdom, where it is also commonly taught as a separate discipline in universities. The establishment of the field of forensic medicine or training proper authorities dealing with these cases is indeed needed in Slovakia to prevent further destruction of historically important remains and sites.

The presented article presents the unique find of a plastically decorated bone handle from the high medieval Pustý hrad castle in Zvolen. Its first part was discovered in 1996 during excavations of V. Hanuliak in the interior of the tower in the eastern line of the Upper castle’s fortification. The second, smaller, part was found in excavation season 2019 in the moat of the same tower. The aim is to carry out a complex analysis of the artefact with relief decoration and its setting in a wider chronological context. The relief motif on the handle represents a figure of a knight in a helm kneeling before another standing figure (a lady?) with her arms around him, pressing his head against her chest. We interpret the image as a love scene on the basis of analogies. From the historical point of view, the helm depicted on the knight’s head is important; it can be dated to the beginning of the 14th century. The decorated handle is a luxurious item which is an expression of table manners of the castle nobility.

The paper discusses a single find of a Roman coin – a subaerat Gallienus antoninianus – a random finding from the Pustý hrad (Deserted) Castle in Zvolen. The finding corroborates the view that the site was settled in the Early or Late Roman Period. The coin is a Roman currency commonly used in trade with the Quadi. A thorough analysis of the coin allowed us to determine its age, method of production and interpret its historical context. So far, no similar contemporary findings of young subaerat antoninianus coins are known from the Danubian Barbaricum.

The aim of this article is to present the results of the rescue excavations of the Department of Archaeology CPU in Nitra carried out in the last decade at Lužianky, district Nitra. The article presents finds discovered during the monitoring of excavated foundations of five family houses in the western part of the residential area of Lužianky on the Závodnikova Street. Total of 18 settlement features were identified on the plots embedded in the yellow loess ground with dozens of pottery fragments of the Late Neolithic Lužianky Group, daub fragments and animal bones. The findings complement our knowledge of the extent of the Neolithic settlement of the eponymous group in Lužianky and enhance our knowledge of the Protolengyel stage in Slovakia.

The aim of the article is to draw attention to a sole find of a clay mold for casting counterfeit coins of Emperor Leopold I. The artifact was unexpectedly unearthed at the National Cultural Monument Pustý hrad (Deserted Castle) in Zvolen. In the 2019 research season, during the excavation of the rubble backfill of the flanking tower ditch in the eastern line of the Upper Castles fortification, five fragments from a casting mold were discovered. The item serves as proof of counterfeiting activity, and it is a unique modern find, dated at the end of the 17th Century, not only from Deserted Castle, but in general from the territory of Slovakia, as we do not know a similar artefact from other castles.
