Collection of glass that has been found in cesspit filling on the allotment no. 481 at 3 Ventúrska Street in Bratislava Town Monument Reserve provides us with recently the most complete picture of dining culture in urban milieu. The feature filling contained two relevant collections: collection of glass dated to the middle of the 16th till the middle of the 17th centuries; and that of pottery of the same time period. The glass collection included wide range of hollow glassware - approximately 100 of reconstructed shapes. Local production is completed with shapes from the “Venetian glass” circle.

The first patterns of Neolithic small plastic art were found at the excavations of Purciems C site, located near the ancient littoral of the Litorina Sea. The best example - a 4, 4 cm long figurine - has a summarily formed body with a characteristic modeling of the shoulders in place of the arms and a flat base in place of legs. The oval and wide face of the figurine has a nose formed in relief, but its eyes, eyebrows and mouth are marked by incisions. Some new patterns of the Neolithic anthropomorphic plastic art were excavated in the wetland of the Lake Lubans between 1964 and 1989. The best pattern - the head of a broken figurine - was found at the Nainiekste settlement. Its oval face with more elaborate details was modeled in a similar way. During the latest investigations at the Purciems F and especially at the newfound Gipka A and Gipka B settlements, located on the ancient bank of the Litorina Sea, archaeologists discovered 15 broken clay figurines. The new material allowed to classify the anthropomorphic small clay plastic patterns into several groups: upward-looking anthropomorphic clay figurines with a flat base in place of legs, anthropomorphic clay figurine with a scarf-like head-dress (Gipka type), anthropomorphic figurines with legs, the bead-shaped anthropomorphic representation.

Excavation of various types of burial grounds is one of the important tasks of archaeological research in the Czech Republic. The origin of necropolises is connected with ritual burials. The archaeologically excavated burial grounds become an important source of information about life and structure of the society, its cultural and economic level. They provide evidence about spiritual sphere, material culture, and furthermore they also contribute to solving chronological questions. With reference to the results of excavations made up to now, the burial grounds in Moravia can be divided e. g. according to: the place of establishing - in open space in rural area, or in the interiors of ecclesiastical buildings (churches, monastic complexes, cult formations), the way of burying (inhumation graves or cremated burials), the outer form (flat, barrow burials), the arrangement of graves (groups, rows, irregular) etc.

In Part 2 the article brings the finds from the season 1978. The fragment of a stela found in level IV of the Central Test Pit resembles Ramesside ‘Horbeit stelae’; it was already re-used, similar to some other Ramesside stone objects at Tell el-Retaba, in early Third Intermediate Period. An excursus focuses on other inscribed and decorated stone fragments from the tell. In 1981, parts of Petrie’s Wall 2 and Wall 3 were unearthed, measured and described, among other structures in the 125 meters long eastern profile of the pipeline trench. The trench was dug out by the Egyptian authorities in the centre of the tell, cutting it into two parts in N-S direction. Petrie’s Walls as well as some other loci documented in the profile are re-evaluated; the same concerns the burials discovered in the trench northwards of the tell. Date of yet another burials uncovered in the central southern part of the tell is re-considered with the conclusion that, as other child (jar) burials discovered at Tell el-Retaba, they are part of cemeteries at defence walls (in or outside the fortress), used during the New Kingdom from the late 18th/early 19th Dynasty onwards.

The present paper recapitulates the history (18-20th C.) and the current state-of-the-art in the research on the Christian archaeology in Poland as well as comprises both a glance at the field survey and synthetic studies and analysis of a single or group of artefacts performed by Polish researchers over the last fifty years. As regards the state of Polish research, the authoress applies generally accepted scientific principles relating to space and time of this discipline, viz. the subject of the Christian archaeology are artefacts dated from the early Christian period (confirmed in a material culture as late as in the 3rd C.) to the early Middle Ages and early Byzantine period (8th C.). It also comprises the area around the Mediterranean Sea: from Sudan to the Upper Egypt; over the southern Europe and the northern Africa to Syria, Palestine and even Crimea. The draft contains an extensive bibliography of the researcher mentioned in the text.

This report evaluates the Middle Stone Age penetration in the area of Northern Slovakia from the point of view of past research as well as in the light of results of two test excavations on the southern slope of the Tatra Mountains. Information's about the Mesolithic settlements in Slovakia are random. They are related mainly to areas of southern edge of the Carpathians in the vicinity of upper Hornad river basin and Danube river plain. In this context assumption concerning the existence of Mesolithic also in northern Slovakia, specifically at the foot of the Tatra Mountains, should be remembered. In August 2007 the small scale excavation took place on two sites, selected for testing after repeated previous surveys, situated about 2.5 km north-west from the city centre of Spisska Bela. The first one is destroyed as a result of multi-annual, deeply ploughed and drainage works. The second one produced small inventory in the stratigraphic position. Among tools trapezium and middle part of unidentified microliths should be exposed, both made of Cracow-Jurassic flint. Also the first data concerning Mesolithic settlement in the northern zone of the Tatra Mountains are remembered in the paper. They were described from Middle Beskydy Range. Some elements of Chojnice-Pienki or Janislawice culture are discussed in the text. Two excavated Slovakian sites are evidence of human residence of late Mesolithic groups in the sub-Tatra area during the Atlantic period. Attention should be paid to the immediate proximity of the described Mesolithic sites, situated not far from the village of early Neolithic Linear Pottery Culture (Linearbandkeramik) from the music note phase and Bukk culture and the Spisska Bela 'Kahlenberg' position. We can expose the lack of the oldest phase of band pottery culture in the Poprad Valley and upper Hornad basin. The mountainous territories of Western Carpathians are non questionable domain of the Mesolithic man at least from the beginning of Atlanticum. The good orientation in local beds of silica rocks - radiolarite, Mikuszowice hornstone suggests, that Mesolithic groups in this zone existed not only episodically.

The study presents more complex compilation of J. Barta's revisory excavations at Moravany nad Vahom-Dlha that were realised in 1963 and 1990. In more details it describes the methods used in the research, stratigraphic situation at the site and the analysed collection of chipped stone industry as well. Stone artefacts were found mostly in two layers one closely above the other. The cultural layer purportedly occurred in a fossil earth under topsoil prevailingly and rarely also in a layer of light loess. Mostly, they are made of local raw materials, such as radiolarites and quartz. Imported raw materials, obsidian and limnosilicite, are less frequent. The range of raw materials is complemented with silicificated sandstone. As the technology of chipped stone artefacts is concerned, a stone waste is the most numerous, which is followed by unretouched flakes, retouched tools, unretouched blades and cores. The most frequent implements are leaf-shaped points - the type with rounded base - and their fragments of various sizes and in connection with the retouch type in three variants: with overall flat retouch, partial flat retouch and without flat retouch. Their production is documented by finds of semi-products and waste as well at the site. Retouched blades and flakes are rather frequent, too. End-scrapers, side-scrapers, burins and combined tools are less frequent. Analysis of the tools technology and typology help date the site settlement into the Szeletian period. This is connected with the frequent occurrence of flat retouch on leaf-shaped points and on some other retouched tools as well. The stone tools composition with ample amount of leaf-shaped points, end-scrapers, side-scrapers, etc. together with usage of local raw materials and a big share of flakes in comparison to blades are typical characteristics. The site at Moravany nad Vahom-Dlha is pointed out to have a big potential for deeper comprehension of the transitional period between the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic and its significance in prehistory.

The paper focuses on evaluation of pottery fragments from the Middle Eneolithic from Nižná Myšľa, Várhegy site (Košice-okolie district). They were discovered in the area of settlement I of the Otomani-Füzesabony cultural complex, in trenches I – III/2018, in the mixed bottom layer of weathered loess. In the evaluated assemblage, finds of the Boleráz decorative style or the Boleráz-early classical style of the Baden cultural complex typical of the interface of stages Baden I/II prevail. Fragments of a bowl whose atypically everted rim and decoration cannot be identified with the Boleráz or Baden pottery styles are evaluated as a foreign cultural element. Profile of the rim of the preserved vessel fragment is similar to the Coţofeni culture pottery, whose development reflects also other intercultural features. Some of them, such as the identification-decorative code of corded ornaments, can be derived from the genesis of the Pit Grave culture’s population. Torsos of pottery products with features of the Coţofeni and Pit Grave cultures have been identified in the Slovak territory of the Upper Tisza region at several localities dated to the Middle Eneolithic. It is probably not a result of an accidental phenomenon that similar pottery finds come mainly from the southern regions of the studied territory.

The aim of this article is to present the results of the rescue excavations of the Department of Archaeology CPU in Nitra carried out in the last decade at Lužianky, district Nitra. The article presents finds discovered during the monitoring of excavated foundations of five family houses in the western part of the residential area of Lužianky on the Závodnikova Street. Total of 18 settlement features were identified on the plots embedded in the yellow loess ground with dozens of pottery fragments of the Late Neolithic Lužianky Group, daub fragments and animal bones. The findings complement our knowledge of the extent of the Neolithic settlement of the eponymous group in Lužianky and enhance our knowledge of the Protolengyel stage in Slovakia.

Archaeological research of a burial ground at Mytna Nova Ves, the local quarter of Ludanice, in south-western Slovakia was realized within the years 1982, 1984-1989 and 2003. The excavated 600 graves have enriched remarkably the collection of finds dated to the Nitra and Unetice cultures in Slovakia mainly concerning the group of metal artefacts, in which copper or bronze daggers that are the topic of this article are dominating. On the excavated burial ground 14 daggers were found there in 13 graves. As the cultural chronology is concerned, 8 daggers belong to the Nitra culture and 6 to the Unetice culture, which were divided into three basic types (A-C) according to shapes of but and blade and their chronology (A - the oldest type, C - the youngest type). Special attention was paid to their position in graves. As the daggers occurred in male burials exclusively, age categories of the deceased men were observed. The difference in dagger positioning within the male graves of the Nitra culture and the Unetice culture was evident. Coming out from the assumption that daggers in the graves were placed in the way the deceased had wore them in life, daggers situated on a belt on the right side predominated in the Nitra culture and pointed up on the back in the Unetice culture. This different way of dagger wearing can indicate costume variances of the cultures under study and dissimilarities in infighting methods as well. Situating of graves with daggers within the burial ground area showed their noticeable concentration in its western or south-western section. More graves with daggers had free space around that make us think about possible existence of smaller mounds. Members of higher social post, hunters and fighters are presupposed to be buried in the burials with daggers.

Twelve archaeological features were uncovered during the archaeological excavation, which took place on the route of the canalization construction in the location Veľký Šárad, in 2005. Six features and the Early Medieval cultural layer were situated in the southern part of the canalization construction. The mildly embedded features, numbers 04/05 and 05/05, were of rectangular layout and of the earth-and-timber construction. These features are archaeologically interpreted as most probably pit houses. In the pit houses, primarily objects of everyday use were found. The pottery characteristic for 8th century AD predominates among movable archaeological finds. The iron slag fragments represent local metallurgical production of iron. The investigated archaeological features, together with previously excavated settlement features uncovered in the locations Medzi cestami and Pri vinárni, presumably originally formed the same settlement site.
