'Sariský spevnik' (Saris song-book) has been so far by the scholars referred to as 'Moskovsky spevnik' (Moscow song-book) - according to the place of its storage. This song-book is usually mentioned in a connection with a song entitled 'Dina Rusnaci' in which the relationships between the Slovak and the Rusin ethnica are reflected. The song is also included in the appendix to Jan Kollar's 'Narodnie spievanky' (Folk songs) from 1835. Saris song-book is at present preserved in the Lomonosov Moscow State University Library. It was A. Petrov who made a mention of its existence for the first time. He drew the attention of the scholars to the fact that the song-book originated in Eastern Slovakia. An extensive description was published by Frantisek Tichý. The Saris song-book consists of 208 folios. The song-book was created by the way of a successive addition of the individual folios of a diverse quality dating back to the beginning of the 18th century. It. was studied and prepared for edition by F. Tichý in 1929 but apart from an extensive paper from 1931 no edition has been realized so far. In the years 1933-1934, the Saris song-book was studied by V. N. Peretc. But the analysis was published no sooner than 1962. The accent of his study lies on the secular songs. He dated the paper of the song book to the beginning of the 18th century, of course except for the part in which Speranskij found the watermarks from 1730-1733.The song book was written by the several hands but the main part of it is written in cursive script originating from the 1720´s. It contains also the parts written in the Cyrillic semi-uncial script much older than the beginning of the 18th century. The provenance of the Moscow song-book can be undoubtedly determined: it originates from the Eastern Slovakia. Not only the language of individual songs but several marginal records as well attest to this fact. V. N. Peretc could not finish his investigations as he fell into disgrace in the 1930´s and was arrested in 1934. From that time on, the ms. was considered to have been lost. But recently, thanks to the cooperation of Lydia Sazonova, a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Saris song-book has been found and identified again. Now, a digitalized copy of it is a part of the database in the Jan Stanislav Institute of Slavistics in Bratislava, thanks to the support of Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung and prof. Hans Rothe.

In the first part of the multi-volume series about finds made of ceramic and other materials from archaeological explorations and prospections in Slovakia, the authors have focused on the evaluation of finds of pipes from archaeological activities of the company Archeológia Zemplín from Michalovce, carried out during the years 2009–2010. Based on a detailed survey of the problem´s treatment, they point to the starting points of the study of pipes at present. At the same time, they introduce a formalised way of the description of pipes and evaluation of the set of finds consisting of 30 pipe finds dated from the 17th to the 20th century.

The village of Ruská Kajňa, situated in the Oľka River Valley, is one of the smallest villages in the Humenné district in terms of population. However, the historical events taking place during the 20th century in the village and the entire region, now referred to as the Horná Oľka micro-region, have influenced the political, social, cultural and economic development of the area on the periphery of the interest of the elites. The village was completely burnt down by the German troops, except for the Greek-Catholic church of St. Michael the Archangel. In winter, the inhabitants had to take shelter in the local forests. Upon returning, however, they faced another life-threatening crisis. Only charred torsos remained of their dwellings and outbuildings. After 1945, the process of renovation and construction under the patronage of the restored Czechoslovak Republic and its political elites started. In the study presented, the author deals with these two aspects, in particular the period from 1939 to 1945, with an emphasis on Partisan activity in the vicinity of the village, and the post-war reconstruction. Thus, the goal is to highlight the intersecting problems of the World War 2 period (the Jewish question, Partisan activity, burning of the village). The second part of the paper focuses on the post-war reconstruction of the village, with the whole process being completed in the early 1960s.

The collection of Roma songs by Jozef Kolarčík (1899 – 1961) documents the song repertoire of Roma in eastern Slovakia (regions of Šariš, Gemer) and abroad (Romania) in the first half of the 20th century, with the focus on the 1930s and ’40s. It contains manuscript records of Roma songs, coming from 14 localities and recorded from 36 singers. Although the main focus of the collection is on song texts, research identified 179 records with musical content (tunes, sketches, fragments). Kolarčík’s collection conception was based on fieldwork in the milieu of the Roma communities. His work as a collector overlapped with the field of social study, and his results could serve also to raise the level of information in the majority community about the Roma ethnic group.

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 article analyses the etiological legends, narratives associated with the biblical plots, as well as other stories with Christian motifs, recorded during field researches in Eastern Slovakia in 2014 and 2018. All of them have axiological focus. They offer a national assessment of the world formation, current events and people’s behaviour. Narratives are included in the wider context of similar folklore facts of other Slavic traditions, which afford an opportunity to understand the specifics of local Ruthenian micro tradition in the aspect of axiological understanding of the world.

Finds of glass beads from Eastern Slovakia are recorded on several sites. An undecorated red-brown bead from the burial ground in Vojnatina, distr. of Sobrance, from the end of the Bronze Age or the beginning of the Hallstatt period belongs to the oldest finds. Other specimens belong to the young and the late Hallstatt period. The largest collection of glass beads of various types comes from the cemetery in Ždaňa, distr. of Košice-okolie, on the basis of existing finds; this cemetery has been provisionally dated back to the HD stage. Among the glass beads from Eastern Slovakia, types chronologically comparable to finds in the Vekerzug culture within the Carpathian Basin prevail considerably. In a wider cultural context, these glass beads can be compared to the finds from the East-Hallstatt sphere. The specimens from the late Hallstatt settlement in Rad, distr. of Trebišov, rang among rare types with some analogies in the cultures north and east of the Carpathians.

There is a gap in the microfinance literature on micro savings as a form of microfinance; and their impact on clients, micro enterprises, households, communities, and financial institutions. Microfinance arises as a new tool in developing as well as developed countries. It is widely known since the 1970's and often connected with the name of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus. The aim of the paper is to analyze effects of micro savings programs on well-being of poor households participating in micro savings program in Eastern Slovakia. According to the results active and successful clients perceive positive change in level of their household management and they perceive their ability to manage household better than unsuccessful clients. Furthermore, active and successful clients perceive positive subjective change in quality of living and they perceive higher level of overall quality of living than unsuccessful clients. Based on a sample of 112 households from three towns (Ostrovany, Stara Lubovna and Moldava nad Bodvou) subjective perception and objective change in well-being of households are assessed and it is argued that the programs have positive effects on poverty and contribute to poverty alleviation.

A selection of unpublished samples of Eneolithic daub with distinct construction imprints are the information source of the study. Based on them, constructional bindings and methods of not only production, commercial features (reinforced hearths, domed kilns, production-commercial structures with light construction/roofing) or functionally specifically designed settlement features (linear fence/enclosure) can be created. Individual samples come exclusively from several Baden settlement features (find contexts) selected from prehistoric sites of eastern Slovakia (Brehov, Kašov, Prešov-Solivar, Šarišské Michaľany, Veľká Lomnica, Zemplínske Hradište, Zemplínske Kopčany), where many unanswered questions remain in the Eneolithic settlement. After evaluation of the daub, it is clear that basically almost identical or similar technological, constructional and building methods (solutions) occur in all cases of architectural reconstruction of construction blocks and constructional-architectonic complexes. The methods differ from each other only with small construction alternations, i.e. presence/absence of construction elements, construction bindings or construction forms. Some are complemented with specific technological-constructional design.

When it comes to Bronze Age, the archaeological site Gánovce is mainly known due to significant finds collection from the filling of a ritual well, which was excavated in the location Hrádok during the travertine exploitation. There is less information available about the settlement agglomerations, which surrounded and was connected to this locality of Central-European importance. One of them was situated in the close proximity on the eastern edge of the site Hrádok, at the location Za stodolami. Most of the archaeological finds, which were there acquired by several surface prospections during 2019–2020 can be dated to the end of Early Bronze Age and fully reflect the traditions of Otomani-Füzesabony Cultural Complex. In addition to ceramic, a significant collection of ground stone artefacts, pottery, and bone tools have been documented. Among those were identified two fragmentary preserved moulds made of stone, which were analysed by SEM-EDX method confirming the presence of melted metal. Thus they reliably prove the local metallurgical production, which along with the other craft activities could have significant economic meaning for the community inhabiting the surroundings of the central site Gánovce-Hrádok.

Origin of the Košťany culture partly explained material (research in the years 1965 – 1966) from the cemetery on the position Nižné Kapustníky in Košice. The cemetery is situated in the inundation area river Hornád, south of the heating plant. Overall was uncovered 2400 m2. Graves of the Košťany culture are spread almost in regular rows and the average distance between them is about 150 cm. The graves don´t forming isolated groups by age, gender or social affiliation. In all the tombs were found buried skeletal individuals in a crouched position. The most widely combination in two skeletal graves is mother with a child. Several graves were damaged contemporaries (stealing), younger interventions of the Otomany culture (superposition) and modern sand and gravel mining. Type chronological analysis, horizontal stratigraphy and partly seriation was foundation for internal chronology of the cemetery. There are three developmental stages: initial, transient and classic Košťany culture.

Calendar customs represent a permanent part of the cultural calendar of local communities in both towns and villages. They include ceremonies and customs, related to important festive days throughout the year. Calendar custom tradition however, has under the social and cultural life system its un-replaceable position. Making a special feeling of festivals continues to be its dominant function. It ensures the continuity of culture, transition of social experiences and it plays also significant integration and psycho-emotional roles in life of the individual, family and community.

Cyrillic manuscripts show evidence of the Byzantine‑Slavic cultural and traditional formation and development in Slovakia, as well as in the milieu of Slovak ethnic society. From a linguistic point of view and based on the provenance of the described realia, they are an integral part of the Slovak national culture. Mentioned manuscripts thereby represent an important and integral part of the confessional identity of inhabitants of the region, although after the fall of Great Moravia, Latin cultural tradition eventually prevailed in the middle Danube region.

The Iron Curtain was a symbol of a Europe divided between Soviet and Western influence for forty years. Powers on each side of the border invested huge efforts into creating ideologically motivated images of the Other. The article presents the outcomes of biographical research which offers an insight into how aged people in Eastern Slovakia remember their pre-1989 perceptions of the Western Block and how they think of life in the West today, focusing on the main element of their memories in this respect – emigration. It is the outcome of a broader oral history project being conducted in Slovakia since 2017, aiming to obtain and analyse current images of socialism, as communicated today by the generation of witnesses who were living their adult lives during the period spanning between the 1960s and the 1980s; and understanding the relations between the current attitudes and values of the respondents and their experience of life in state socialist regimes.

The rescue archaeological excavation at the site of Košice-Táborisko (Košice-Juh) was initiated by construction of the OC Cassovia shopping centre in 2000. The settlement of Táborisko site belongs to the open habitation of the Otomani-Füzesabony culture people from the Bronze Age. We have studied 41 features including part of the floor with a hearth from an above-ground house, a production feature, a storage pit, separate hearths or hearths in settlement pits, postholes, settlement pits. A considerable portion of finds consists of pottery. Apart from it, bone and antler material, animal bones, chipped lithic industry, daub and stones have been obtained. Metal industry is represented only by a fragment of a needle from a bronze pin. Pottery sherds come from jugs, cups, bowls, a cylindrical vessel, amphorae and pots. The discovered finds and radiocarbon dating within the span of 1787 – 1539 cal BC allow classification of the settlement in Košice-Táborisko in the classical stage of the Otomani-Füzesabony culture.

The article is dedicated to the good memory of Ladislav ‘Laci’ Bánesz (1932 – 2000), who always wanted to see really connected Palaeolithic records of Eastern Slovakia and the Ukrainian Transcarpathia. In the article a group of Berehove and Muzhievo surface find spots situated near in situ Proto-Aurignacian Berehove I site in Transcarpathia (Ukraine) is discussed. The conducted study allow us to take a new look at these loci and their UP lithics. Instead of the before viewed as a group of Middle Aurignacian real sites, the considering actually Proto-Aurignacian loci are now understood as representing a series of various supply chain loci with raw material outcrops, workshops, a site-workshop, and special camps for now Berehove I base camp. All these functionally varying loci and the site situated at raw material outcrops at Berehove Volcanic Shallow Mountain Area do represent a logistic settlement pattern. Accordingly, it is the first case for European Proto-Aurignacian when a complex settlement pattern with a base camp and sites-satellites is recognized for a closely located cluster of loci. Now recognized Proto-Aurignacian site of Tibava in Eastern Slovakia most probably also belongs to Berehove and Muzhievo ProtoAurignacian site complex.

Nižná Myšľa is well known to the expert as well as general public, as an archaeological site, mainly in association with a burial ground and fortified settlement from the Early and Middle Bronze Age. Fortified settlements are one of the specific features of the northern enclave of the Otomani-Füzesabony cultural complex and they represented production, trade, religious and later also power centres. The article deals with the fortified settlement II from the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age. The archaeological excavation in Nižná Myšľa has been conducted since 1977. Based on the current knowledge, we can state that intense craft activities took place at fortified settlement II. With regard to the extent of craft activities, the article focuses on activities associated with metallurgy and lithic industry. These two topics are partly interconnected, since evidence of metallurgy contains mainly lithic casting moulds. Final finish of metal objects is associated with various tools for grinding, smoothing and polishing which are frequent at the site. Metallurgy was the moving power of the economy in the Bronze Age and Nižná Myšľa was one of its centres. Lithic industry, on the other hand, played an important role in people’s everyday life and was used in almost all types of industry. Therefore, its location in the area of fortified settlement II offers us an opportunity to partly locate craft districts and reconstruct the economic-production model of the settlement itself.

The article is based on long term field research and focuses on a community of family-related Vlax Roma from Prešov, Sabinov and Košice regions who created a large community in Leicester, UK. The massive wave of labour migration to UK started in 2004, in the year of Slovakia’s accession to the European Union. The migration to Great Britain has been based on family networks and represents an example of chain migration based on the reciprocal help of family networks. Besides their own relatives other different non-related Roma intermediaries had an important influence on their arrival to Britain. The article focuses on the changing economic strategies of new migrants from the group in focus after their replacement to UK. In the years following Slovak accession to the EU, the prospective Romani migrants explored many illegal paths to arrive to Britain in their struggle for a better life. Approximately after a decade since their arrival, we can find this community as fully integrated into the local British working class, spending their time between my work and my house.
