Area of southwestern Slovakia was a stage of heavy fighting in the last months of the Second World War. Currently, the most acute aim of interdisciplinary research, both historical and archaeological, is to specify the exact position of battlefields, artillery and defence positions. It is also the matter of protection of these sites to save them from the illegal archaeological activities.

In 2010 emergency archaeological excavations were done in Kołobrzeg, in connection with the repair works in Armii Krajowej Street between Łopuskiego Street and the Market Square. The excavations revealed relics of five late-mediaeval water supply pipes of different functions (fig. 1). The fragments of pipes marked XIII, XV and XVII were lined up and seem to be remnants of a single water main, which used to go from the Market Square to the north east under the contemporary Armii Krajowej Street. The mains was constructed of trough-shaped pipes, with covers fastened with wooden pegs. The mains was joined by the pipe (item VIII) which supplied water to the plot at 8 Armii Krajowej Street (fig. 3). Dendrochronological dating indicates that this water supply system was built in the 2nd half of the 14th c. The way of installing one of the segments (item XVII; fig. 2) suggests that at its route, opposite the collegiate church, there was a well, which could have been a publicly accessible source of water (see fig. 1). The excavations also revealed elements of a modern water supply system, constructed of hollowed pine trunks. The fragments uncovered (item V, VI and XVI) are most probably remnants of one pipe, installed in Armii Krajowej Street (fig. 5). The pipe was probably part of the municipal water supply system built in 1666 r. The excavations also uncovered fragments of early-modern service lines, supplying water to plots 7 (item X) and 6 (item XII). An interesting find is a remnant of the sewer which collected waste from the nearby plots, installed along the axis of the street (item IX; fig. 3). It was probably connected with another pipe (item XI), which collected sewage from the plot at 6 Armii Krajowej Street. Both the present and the earlier finds indicate that already in the 2nd half of the 14th c. the northern part of Kołobrzeg could have had a well-developed sewage system.

This paper is a report on experience collected during archaeological studies of structures in the territory of Ukraine. It discusses the archaeological study of architectural monuments over the period of the operation of the Ukrrestavratsiia Corporation and presents the observation that most known varieties of masonry systems, featuring different combinations of materials and mortars, were observed in findings dated to the period of the Kyivan Rus, and that the list of foundation schemes present was limited to a few types. It was also found that of the schemes observed, the Old Russian scheme displayed an evolution. The study also highlights the significance of the role of foundation musealisation in the restoration and reconstruction of damaged architectural monuments.

Reconstruction furrows deepened along the building and its vicinity were documented during a short rescue exploration at the Church of the Nativity of Virgin Mary in Veľké Chyndice. New information on the used construction technology and development of the object, consisting of the remains of Roman nave and apsis (13th century), Baroque nave (18th century) and pre-built tower (20th century), was acquired. It was shown that the foundations of the Roman building were built in bricks. Shallow foundations may have been fixed by the stone-brick sustaining wall only as late as in Modern Times. There was partial uncovering of a short section of stone-brick foundation wall, remains of the medieval sacristy renovated in Baroque, which made it possible to reconstruct its ground plan. A slightly misaligned sacristy, connected in the east to the apsis and in the west to the Church´s Roman nave, had inner dimensions of 3.33 x 2.62 m. It was found out that the pillars supporting the present nave of the church at the southern and northern side were not built during the Baroque reconstruction, as it has been assumed so far, but they originated later, perhaps at the end of the 19th or the beginning of the 20th century. The crypt attached to the northern wall of the church´s Baroque nave, probably in the 19th century, was partially explored. It was shown that the terrain at the southern side of the Roman building was lowered during the Baroque reconstruction (1735–1750) at the latest, which put a part of the Roman foundation wall above the level of the present terrain.

Extinct modern villages Lestina and Závada are located in the cadastres of today´s Hromoš and Ďurková in north-western Slovakia. They are distant about 3.5 km from each other. The authors have recognized them on the map sheets of the First military survey (of Joseph II). Shortly after, they were identified in the field and even geophysical survey was carried out in Lestina. The contribution is focused more specifically on the analysis of cartographic and historical records, as well as the results of geodetic-topographic and geophysical survey. The analysis of these records has shown that Lestina and Závada were small villages belonging to the Plaveč dominion that had become extinct during the 19th cent. Geodetic-topographic survey and geophysical measurement confirmed the existence of relics of stone buildings in the area of extinct Lestina. In Závada only relics in the form of man-made terraces are preserved.

Archaeological research carried out during renovation of the Old Theatre has uncovered traces of several half-timbered buildings dated to the 14th–15th centuries and of four townhouses dated to the 16th–17th centuries. The stratigraphic and spatial relationships have helped to distinguish six basic phases of building development. They have also provided a basis to determine the original layout of three plots demarcated after the city charter which were parceled out and aggregated in the 16th–17th centuries and then merged into one before construction of the Old Theatre in the 19th century.
