During recent research in the Upper Žitava valley, previously unknown Early Bronze Age fortifications were discovered near Hul and Vlkas. They probably represented the seat of relatively small social groups. In the Žitava valley only the site Vráble-Fidvár grew beyond this early stage into a large settlement of an area of up to 12 ha. In the course of a process of synoicism, the other sites were abandoned voluntarily or involuntarily, and the social groups there probably moved to Vráble. We may assume that this has also led to social division and hierarchisation, with the newcomers being dominated by the small group that had initially occupied Vráble. At the end of the Early Bronze Age in the course of a kind of dioicism, the large settlement of Vráble was abandoned. Afterwards, small settlements again dominated the settlement pattern.

In 2009–2012, the Archaeological Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences carried out rescue researches in the south-eastern extra region of Prešov, borough of Solivar, on the hill fort rising in Chmeľové-Tichá dolina. The initial rescue research in 2009 was carried out along the lines of construction of access roads and utilities. The following rescue researches from 2010–2012 focused on prospection of ten building sites where family houses are being built. By autumn 2012, 43 settlement objects were recorded. Poly-cultural character of the site settlement is represented by objects from the Neolithic, Eneolithic, late Bronze Age and late Roman era. 25 of them correspond with the middle Eneolithic settlement by the Baden culture people. Then, a fortified settlement protected by a ditch and rampart was built in the westernmost part of the site. The results of the geophysical measuring and terrain configuration suggest that size of the fortified settlement reached 55 x 75 m at least. The eastern part of the fortification was interrupted by the settlement entrance. The placement of the Baden culture objects along the inner and outer lines of the fortification suggests organized construction of residential and farm buildings, which has no analogies available in the current state of research within the Tisza region.

In addition to archaeological artefacts and situations, the database of cemetery and church in Krásno in western Slovakia contained numerous items that needed interdisciplinary cooperation to evaluate them properly. The existing works point out that the missing information can be gradually filled in via modern processing (GIS) methods, thus allowing the research to continue regardless incomplete graphical and find documentation. In the nave interior, remarkable georadar (GPR) anomalies were measured under the ground surface, most probably indicating a building destruction in its southern part. In the interior of the northern extension of an early Romanesque church, the georadar anomalies can indicate a tomb. The other GPR anomalies are caused by construction destruction related to the adjustment of the sacral building after archaeological research.

In the year 2013 and 2014 there was carried out an archaeological excavation for scientific and documentation purposes in Čierne Kľačany, location Pri mlyne. The area of the settlement was identified by geophysical measurement, according to which there were selected, and after that excavated, houses foundations belonging to the Lengyel culture located in the south-western part of the settlement. There was collected vast and variable pottery from different time periods during the both working seasons. Except of the Stone Age settlement pits and foundations of Lengyel culture houses with the channels for poles, some objects from the Late Bronze Age and Early Hallstatt Period were also found. There was excavated also a part of Linear culture object: ditch or a moat, 2 m wide and 60 cm deep, with flat bottom indicating, that it’s construction was not finished. Beside the huge amount of Lusatian culture finds, pottery material from the area of Central Danubian and probably also south-eastern Urnfield cultures was identified. Even the poor number of Urnfield cultures settlement pits found in this area, the potsherds was easily differentiated and was dated in the chronological phases HB – HC.

Non-destructive archaeological methods play a significant role in acquiring the information about archaeological sites. The most often used are geophysical methods, especially the magnetic and geoelectric ones. As part of the project CEVNAD, several geophysical measurements were carried out in the years 2010 to 2014, in the river basins of the Hron, Ipeľ and Žitava, as well as in the Košická kotlina and in the territory of Spiš. The excavation was done in such archaeological sites as settlements, fortified settlements, fortresses, temporary Roman camps, burial grounds, churches, fortified areas, etc. The main aim of the measurements was to acquire information, as precise as possible, on the nature of the explored settlement or the deserted architecture (its extent, form, orientation, size of the deserted walls). During five years, magnetic method was used to measure 46 archaeological sites, including such features as ground plans of long houses, channels, stoves, half sunken-floored houses, storage pits, clay pits, fortification systems – ditches, etc. Using GPR survey, 34 archaeological sites were measured during this period. Measurement was focused especially on deserted churches, interiors in churches and monasteries, as well as spaces in fortified areas. In several sites geophysical survey was followed by archaeological survey. The results obtained from the geophysical measuring and archaeological excavation could then be compared and confronted. In most cases, the results were the same.
