The research of gallows, which are part of larger execution sites, has not yet been widely used in Slovakia. The interest of the professional public lies rather on the basis of excerpts from historical sources for the exercise of criminal law in individual settlements. In Western European countries, execution research is of long-term interest of an interdisciplinary nature. This paper brings summarizing findings related to research on execution sites in Europe for their deeper penetration into the professional environment in Slovakia. At the same time, it provides opportunities to use existing historical and archaeological sources in the interpretation of execution sites located in the modern cultural landscape of Slovakia. Historical map data are of great importance for the location of execution sites, from which we obtain important spatial data by mutual comparison. The research from the position of landscape archaeology brings knowledge about the heterogeneous nature of objects occurring in execution sites and the very unique character of the spiritual culture associated with these areas. This finding is substantiated by our own field research of localized execution sites in the Gemer-Malohont region. The authors consider it important that future research into execution sites become an integral part of post-medieval archaeology.

A particularly important segment of the historical landscape structures in the Tribeč foothills is represented by small sacral objects situated in the open landscape, or placed as solitaires in the historical cores of towns or villages. In addition to being a kind of memento mori – so that humans do not forget the transience of their own lives, they also served as a profane topographical object in defining land boundaries and as a landmark at crossroads. The various chapels, crosses, wayside shrines, bell towers, statues of saints are new challenges for the expansion of research and a “hidden” potential for the construction of national and European identity. Their meaning and symbolism has changed over time, but their overall genius loci and their memory in the country persists to the present day. Although they are often overlooked, they deserve special attention in terms of presentation, protection and targeted heritage care. The study deals with the cultural content of small Christian sacral monuments of folk objects as well as their typology based on a sample of the objects under study (roadside crosses, wayside shrines) in the open modern landscape of the western Tribeč foothills.
