Studied area around the Pustý hrad with forests and two antecedent valleys belongs to the most valuable sites in the Zvolen cadastral area. The castle had important role to keep watch on the entrance routes to the rich mining towns during the medieval ages. Antecedent valleys with steep slopes and rocky cliffs create natural conditions of defence. The castle was particularly vulnerable from the forests to the South, where historic access roads are situated. The main aim of the research is identification of the medieval settlements and historic roads dependence to the selected natural factors and conditions. Relations of the historic settlements to the natural environment are observed in the wider region and historic roads are studied in the closer area, in the forests around the Pustý hrad. They are identified by global position and navigation system in the field. We present location and routing of the roads in relation to the relief attributes (slope, meso-forms configuration) and to the geological substrate, where we indicate resistance to weathering of the rocks, in the small spatial segment. We define in the results the complex of important natural factors as: geological substrate, groundwater and springs, specific attributes of relief which limited location of the settlements and related access roads during the medieval ages.

The aim of the paper is to present the results of archaeological, architectural-historical and geophysical investigations in relation to the dehumidification of masonry foundation of a national cultural monument Lutheran church in Nitrianska Streda (ÚZ PF 11276/0). The church is situated on the western edge of the lowland village of Nitrianska Streda, on the left Nitra river bank. The archaeological research conducted by Department of Archaeology in Nitra in 2010 brought to light late medieval and modern period pottery fragments and older architecture. For this reason architectural-historical survey of uncovered architecture followed the research. As the southern continuation of the three identified structures were with high probability completely destroyed by the church foundations and crypt, the expected results on the nature of the estate brought the geo-radar research in the northern neighbourhood of the church. Examined national cultural monument can be after results of the research extended to an archaeological site – extinguished late medieval castle. On this site was build the church in 1748 and in 1811 enriched by a tower. The castle is mentioned in written sources from the second half of the 14th century.

Paper presented the results of excavations conducted on the site Čierne zeme at Zvolen (Slovakia). Within the trench a segment of Hron river paleochannel was uncovered. It was partially filled with cultural sediments, which were naturally accumulated as a result of undercutting the banks of Hron during the periods of water surge. The trunks discovered within the sediments were radiocarbon dated to the time span between 2470 and 2280 BC. Besides them cultural layer yielded also some stone artifacts and collection of pottery fragments. The second one represent mainly the cultural traditions (e.g. Makó-Kosihy-Čaka culture) from the turn of Eneolithic and Bronze Age periods, what corresponds well with the radiocarbon dating of wood. Described site is another settlement point dated to this period in the Zvolen Basin. Younger group of pottery originates from Modern Era (16th-17th century AD) and may be connected with existence of communication route running along Hron river.

The contribution provides primary assessment of two field activities of the Department of Archaeology of Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, which were conducted in 2008 as a part of rescue excavation in the built-up area of Horné Lefantovce. The foundations of a commercial building from the Late Modern Period (18th-19th centuries) were examined. The assessment includes characterization of a set of signed bricks. The article contains also evaluation of the ceramic finds from repeated surveys in the administrative area of Kostoľany pod Tribečom. Medieval and modern finds have been detected in three previously unknown positions, which correspond with our knowledge of the settlement of this region.
