The aim of presented study is to characterise ceramic set from the early medieval hillfort Bojná I-Valy, which is according to the chronologically sensitive findings dated from the 9th c. to the beginning of 10th c. The first part of contribution is focused on analysis of quantitative and qualitative parameters of set which enables to define its informative ability and identifies post depositional processes which appeared at the site. In the second part we tried to single out characteristic groups of vessels on the basis of typology of mouth and decoration by the means of correspondence and cluster analysis. The contribution is the differentiation of post depositional processes which influenced the informative ability of set and the characteristic of ceramics of 9th and beginning of 10th c.

The aim of this article is to compare – on the example of the HD/LTA settlement in Tuněchody near Chrudim – former suggestions how to solve formative processes with new mathematic methods and contextual approaches. If the results of these methods support each other it would strengthen the supposition that positive results of formative process research within settlement sites are possible. To this end a new algorithm of the state of preservation of ceramic fragments was verified on all features of the site. Further presence of so called conglomerates from 25 features from seasons 2003 to 2008, which could be interpreted as sunken buildings or clay extracting pits and 29 features interpreted as storage pits was evaluated. The rest of the features were described as settlement pits or disputed features. The storage pits were mostly dated to the Hallstatt – La Tène period, but there were also six storage pits from the Roman period.

The paper presents four objects from the Early Middle Ages, discovered in a polycultural settlement in Vlača in the Topľa river basin in eastern Slovakia. One of them was sunken and three oval rectangular objects were only minimally buried in the subsoil. In two of them there were traces of a heating device, in the other two no fireplaces were detected. The pairs of objects were oriented almost at right angles to each other. The found material is represented by fragmentary pottery, mainly from pots made on a potter’s wheel with decoration from multiple, less from single wavy lines and from engraved perimeter lines. Only four fractions come from low, hand-formed pans. The settlement is tentatively dated to the 8th – 9th c.

The excavation of the early medieval earthwork at Gniewków undertaken in 2007 by the Institute of Archaeology University of Wrocław was supervised in the field by Assistant Professor K. Jaworski and S. Rodak MA. In view of the ongoing deterioration of the site caused by animals (numerous badger burrows observed in different areas of the linear defensive system) and treasure hunters, the decision was made to undertake archaeological work which would have the nature of a research and a rescue project. The main aim was to recognize the early medieval occupation of the stronghold and its neighbourhood and confirm the previous dating of this defended site. In 2007 eight trenches were laid out, with a combined area of 80 m2. Six of them expanded on older sondage trenches, not all of which, presumably, had been connected to archaeological work (sondage trenches from the research made in 1975, marked as trenches 1-6/1075). New trenches (I-VIII/2007) were set up in the inner area of the earthwork, in its SE area (I, II, III, IV, V and VII/2007) and NW area (VI/2007), whereas trench VIII/2007 was planned on outside, to the north of the stronghold rampart, and covered a fragment of the rampart, a possible moat/ditch and the service settlement of the stronghold. Analysis of the ceramic series secured from this season’s fieldwork allows us to link the site at Gniewków with the nearby strongholds at Dobromierz, Graniczna Górna and Góra Bazaltowa (Mount) in Strzegom. The earthwork’s chronology (9th-10th c.) was determined mainly basing on the ceramic series through comparison with ceramic material from the earthworks in the immediate vicinity of Gniewków. After the investigation season 2007 it was possible to determine the stratigraphic situation of the earthwork, the substantial quantity of ceramic material collected helped us refine its chronology; investigation had been started of the construction design of the earthwork ramparts and the service settlement of the stronghold. The coming season will complete the work in progress and, presumably, bring answers to other questions on the function of the stronghold complex in its region.

During the 2006 rescue archaeological exploration in the Nitra´s Mostná Street, an Early Medieval settlement object no. 14 was excavated – originally a supply ditch, later on a waste disposal ditch, hollowed out into a cultural layer from the Bronze Age and to the loess subsoil. The backfill contained various archaeological materials – a considerable quantity of partly smoked and burnt stones originally making up perhaps a part of a dwelling´s stone oven, animal bones, fragment of the aurochs horn, bronze earring with a couple mouldings, a bronze coiled wire, one Early Medieval ceramic container and ceramic shards from Bronze Age, La Téne Age, and Early Middle Ages. The paper presents results of detailed analyses of the ceramics which proved to be the most suitable in determining the time of the object´s disappearance. The study of fragmentariness indicated that the object contains approx. one tenth of pots specimens, which can be associated with the time of the object’s destruction with higher probability than the small shards. An earring used within a wide range of time is not a contribution to the object´s dating. According to the analysis of ornaments on the ceramics and their comparison with the finds from burial sites and settlements, they fall into the time frame of the turn from the Great Moravian to the post Great Moravian period, probably the first half of the 10th century. The exploration area within the settlement structure of Nitra was situated at the northern edge of an unfortified area, from which a part of medieval town was formed later on, in written sources labelled as “civitas”.

More than 200 settlement objects were explored from the period of Avar Kaganate during the three research stages in Nové Zámky settlement, Dolný Piritov site (Nové Zámky II). The paper deals with the characterisation of one dwelling explored in the settlement. It is a sunken earth-house of a rectangular shape, having clay stove with sunken bottom in the corner. The fragments of ceramics and burnt parts of cupola, being subject of the analytical part of the study, were found in its filling. The heating equipment differs from the other ones known from the territory of the Avar Kaganate not only by its being sunk under the floor level, but also by the fact that its cupola was not sunk to the clay block, but was built independently. Without a detailed evaluation of the whole discovery fund from the settlement, a more detailed dating of the object is not possible. The dating of the excavation site as a whole and its ranking into cultural and civilisation sphere of the Avar Kaganate are proved by the fragments of roasting bells, shards from the so called yellow ceramics and sporadic shards from the so called grey ceramics.

The author makes a brief presentation of the discoveries from the tenth – eleventh century on the territory of Constanța, in the perimeter of the ancient settlement of Tomis. Based on these discoveries, it has been assumed until the present the existence of an early medieval settlement named Constantia, approximately within the same limits mentioned in the Byzantine literary sources. Related to the results of new discoveries in 2017, and comparing Tomis archaeological area with the discoveries in the researched site, we suggest a new location of the settlement of Constantia. It lies near a castellum of the stone vallum, in a protected area by the defensive line. Probably the new location of the settlement determined the reason for the Byzantine literary sources to mention it with a new name and not with the former toponym Tomis.

The paper offers information about the results of the archaeological research which was accomplished during the construction of the hypermarket TESCO in the village Smižany (district Spišská Nová Ves). The excavated feature can by most probably interpreted as a sunken-floor house. Based on similar analogies from the archaeological sites in the Spiš region and other regions of Slovakia, the excavated findings and the feature itself can be dated to the 8th to 9th century. The archaeological findings from the aforementioned period discovered in the cadastre of Smižany are not rare and are known from the settlements and to a lesser extent from burial grounds. All Early Medieval settlements probably belonged under the administration of the central Čingov hillfort situated in the Slovak Paradise. The analysis of ceramics deposited at the Institute of Archaeology of the SAS – Research department in Spišská Nová Ves pointed out the necessity to revise the ceramic findings from the Spiš region dated to the Early Medieval period and also the necessity to publish all archaeological findings that came from closed finding features

The ewer with stirrup handle was discovered in feature 25 during development-led excavations on plots between Hviezdoslavova and Hornopotočná streets. The feature was situated on plot 253 near the western edge of researched area. Ceramics dated mainly to the 13th and the first half of the 14th century was also found there. The ewer has flat bottom and hemispherical body. Stirrup handle with oval cross section is situated on the top of the body. Zoomorphic spouts are remarkable. They have the shape of animal had with erected ears. It can be either pig or bear. Two round openings, at least one was used for pouring the water into the vessel, were placed on the body perpendicularly to the spouts. Both openings are damaged, the rim was not preserved. The surface of vessel is glazed and most of the vessel has the brown- burgundy coloured glaze. Ewers with stirrup handle and zoomorphic spouts were produced in Vienna. The finding from Trnava is therefore unique proof of spreading of table culture and demonstrates the trade contacts and wealth of its owner.

This article presents one outstanding group of medieval pottery imported to Livonia in the 13th and early 14th centuries – highly decorated lead- glazed redware. Several jugs graphically reconstructed from fragments found during archaeological excavations at the Turaida Castle ruins are examined more closely. Some 8000 ceramic sherds were found during the course of archaeological excavations at Turaida Castle (German – Treiden) from 1976–2000 under the direction of archaeologist Jānis Graudonis but they were not researched and dated. This collection is held by the Turaida Museum Reserve. In the last decade, the museum has begun research of the archaeological collections and already several catalogues have been published. During the research carried out for the ceramic catalogue published in 2019, about two dozen fragments of highly decorated redware covered with coloured lead glazes were found among other ceramic finds. They were sorted by the visually identifiable distinctive marks on the sherd, as well as the motifs of the décor and glaze tones. In this way, parts of more than seven jugs could be distinguished.

This study is primarily focused on an analysis of a collection of finds from the 16th and 17th century which originate from a single site. The collection, which consists mainly of ceramic and glass containers, deserves individual attention on the grounds of the range and state of preservation of the artefacts. Only through the presentation of such collections as a whole can we reach a fuller understanding of the issues of the material culture of the early modern period. The study will examine also the possible interpretations of the site on which the artefacts were found and attempt to connect the findings obtained through analysis of the artefacts with existing information about the arrangement and ownership relationships of the site within the general context of the economic, political and religious situation in Košice in the period of the 17th century.

Archaeological research in the cadastre of the village of Rumanová (Nitra dist.) in the location of Tomanov háj was carried out in 2020 – 2021. The geophysical survey here partially delineated the edges of the medieval settlement, which, based on written sources, existed from the middle of the 12th to the beginning of the 15th c. A total of 16 housing estates, relics of the Tomanová (Tomáň) village, were uncovered. Based on the analysis of the ceramic material, it was possible to capture two time horizons of its settlement. An important discovery is a dwelling, perhaps a mansion, from the end of the 14th to the beginning of the 15th c. The examined animal remains prove the importance of domestic animal breeding and the predominant consumption of pork. A remarkable find is the partially preserved skeleton of a magpie (Pica pica), discovered on the floor of the basement area of the investigated dwelling.

The Early Medieval stronghold in the Lublin voivodeship was explored archaeologically in 2004–2005. The site, which lies in the riverside zone of the Swinka river, comprises ring-shaped ramparts encircling an area of 7 ha trenches were dug through two of the ramparts, in the inner area of the stronghold and on the so-called mound. The stratigraphical data combined with dendrochronological and radiocarbon dating have confirmed a two-phase development of the site in the tribal (9th-10th century) and early statehood (12th-13th century) periods. Large ceramic assemblages were recovered from the deposits explored in particular features. Seven sherds were dated by the thermoluminescent (TL) dating method. In Polish research, the method is usually applied at the intercrossing of archeology and geology pleistocene deposits. The possibility of dating of younger deposits has generated little interest so far, mostly due to a sustained belief in a still extensive error margin that has made the method less than effective for the middle ages. TL age is the quotient of the archaeological dose (AD) and the annual dose (DR). Radioisotope concentration measurements were made by the gamma spectrometric method for parts of the mineral deposits with a mass of about 600 g and pottery samples weighing from 60 to 100 g in the form of round plates c. 60 mm in diameter. TL age estimates confirmed the two-phase chronology of the ceramic selected material. The dating for all ceramic samples from group 1 fell within the time range between A.D. 717 and 1102 . In four cases the results ranged between A.D. 717 and 947 falling within the chronological timeframe assumed for group 1. An interesting experiment was the 'double' dating of sample Lub-4350, giving a TL age estimate of A.D. 784-928 compared to 14C dating of A.D. 860-1000. These dating appears promising at this early stage of the research providing two kinds of information: concerning the firing date of a given vessel and a potential dating of the context. At the present stage of the research, the scope of effective TL method usefulness for dating Early Medieval ceramics cannot be fully evaluated. The analyses series is still too small on a site which has yet to be investigated comprehensively.The TL age estimates obtained for the site have been burdened with an error margin of 6-7%, allowing them to be correlated with the results of 14C and dendrochronological dating. There are still many limiting factors at this stage of the research, resulting from the method's imperfections as well as from the little attention paid to contextual data: further close and continuous cooperation between the archaeologist and the physicist is demanded. The TL age estimates obtained for the stronghold are a reason for optimism, leading one to express the hope that the method will soon be accepted as an effective dating technique for Early Medieval as well as prehistoric materials. 7 Figures, 4 Tables.

This article summarizes the results of the author ś thesis as well as reflects some new facts from his doctoral work. The main goal was to create the evolutional schemes of pottery from cities, castles, bulwarks, manors and similar fortified high-placed locations of North-western Slovakia. Tiles and pipes, as part of potter’s production, are included too. The whole described collection dates back to a relatively long time period, from the High Middle Ages to the end of the Early Modern Age (13th – 18th centuries). The secondary aims include the relations of pottery production to the neighbouring areas (South-western Slovakia, Silesias, North-eastern Moravia, and Lesser Poland), the creation of ceramic-material classes of pottery and the percentage and typological comparison of ceramics from cities, castles and fortified high-placed locations.
