This paper presents the results of nine seasons of the joint Polish-Siovak archaeological mission in Tell ei-Retaba in Wadi Tumilat, conducted since 2007. The results of the excavation have been published so far in several preliminary reports. The work of the Polish-Siovak team at the site has brought new insights into the long history of the site and corrected some outdated information, based on more or less regular initial surveys and excavations. In this article, the main features of the settlement in respective periods are described, starting with the oldest occupation phase during the Second Intermediate Period, represented by a cemetery and a settlement. The excavated archaeological material sheds more light on the problematic end of this period and informs us about life during the early New Kingdom. It has enabled us to much better reconstruct the development of the Ramesside fortresses with their elaborated fortification system, temple as well as buildings for their inhabitants. Important proofs of far-reaching international contacts with the regions of Levant as well as the Aegean have been found. Last but not least, the later life of the settlement during the Third Intermediate Period can now be partly reconstructed, showing the continuing importance of the site.

The article brings the first information about the research of the baroque church of St. Nicholas in Kovarce, dist. Topoľčany. The research was carried out in 2016–2019 and was induced by the construction activity (hot water connection and lightning conductor). During the archaeological research several new building units were uncovered and documented: a smaller room in the NW corner of the church, a crypt under the northern sacristy and the eastern part of the extinct original polygonal Gothic presbytery of the older church. Three medieval graves from the church cemetery were also documented. In the crypt we documented the remains of A. Wels from the end of the 19th century (great-grandfather of British actress A. Hepburn). Material culture acquired during the research documents the life in the village in the 17th–18th century and grave equipment of the second half of the 19th cent. The anthropological analysis of found skeletal remains is also a part of the paper.
