The surface exploration on the upper stream of the Širočina was carried out as part of the project entitled Centre for the Research into the Oldest History of the Middle Danube River Basin. Its first aim was to verify, or to refine the localisation of the registered discovery sites, and try to search for other ones in the cadastral territories of individual villages. A complex survey of settlements in the area of the watercourse of the Širočina and its tributaries will serve as a basis for the topography of this territory. New sites were surveyed through GPS directly in the terrain, projected to a map and included into overall database of archaeological sources. With regard to the fact that the project as well as the surface prospection itself was limited by time, we explored just the Širočina´s upper stream. A detailed exploration, carried out as part of the project, contributed to the identification of settlement agglomeration in the area of the confluence of the Širočina and the Suchý potok. At the same time, new and so far unregistered sites were discovered (no. 29 – 42), which, together with known discovery sites, complement an overall picture of settlement in the upper stream of the Širočina from prehistory up to the Middle Ages. The explored area belongs to the whole of the Požitavská pahorkatina and thus represents a small part of the territory included in the project. The detailed surface explorations of these smaller units significantly contribute to the composition of an overall mosaic and gradual complementation of an overall picture of the settlement of Slovak highlands during prehistory and middle Ages.

This article reports on the surveys of “the Slovak research at the Sudanese site of Duweym Wad Haj,” a joint project of the Institute of Oriental Studies and the Archaeological Institute, both of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS). A short survey was carried out at the site in November 2017. Two mosques, qubba and a tell were identified; the tell rises about 5 to 6 m above the alluvial terrain. The western entrance to the older mosque is flanked by hard black stone blocks. Nearby is a worked stone block of the same material. Non-diagnostic pot-sherds were found mainly concentrated on the northern side of the tell. A geophysical survey, documentation of the older mosque and archaeological prospecting were carried out in February 2018; fragments of alabaster, black and red granite and stone industry were identified at the site. The geophysical survey was carried out by a georadar RAMAC X3M system with 500 MHz antenna and processed by ReflexW software. The site was divided up into 8 areas and the individual areas were measured out by GPS Trimble R2. Overall, 11 structures were discovered.

The first Slovak archaeological excavations in the geographic area of Mesoamerica were conducted in 2009 and 2010. Headed by prof. M. Kováč, excavations were organized by the Slovak Archaeological and Historical Institute. H ere we present a brief summary of the results and basic information about the first two seasons in the Mayan city of Uaxactun focusing on the application of various methods in archaeology, borrowed from the natural sciences. This is a preliminary report as further exploration of the site is in progress. Particularly important results are the identification of volcanic ash used as temper in Maya ceramics and identification of the optimal method for the geophysical survey. We expect interesting results by palynology and archaeobotany.

In the cadastral area of Demandice village, site of Čepiec a circular fortified area was captured during an aerial prospecting in 1998. After subsequent geophysical measurement and surface collection, it was found to be a rondel from the Lengyel culture. In the years 2013 and 2015, an intensive geophysical as well as surface collecting survey was carried out at the site. The main aim of which was to try to date the circular moat fortified area more accurately. During the survey, two, next to each other, typologically different areas were localized (the moat fortified area and a settlement), which were also confirmed by the geophysical survey. The analysis of the ceramic material from both sites showed that both areas belong to the period of the Early Bronze Age – the Hatvan culture. The interpretation of the geophysical measurement with the 16-channel magnetometer confirmed the assumption that it is not a roundel of the Lengyel culture period but a moat fortified area belonging to the Hatvan culture.

Restored archaeological excavation on Molpír hill-fort was undertaken in July 2008. Its main purpose was to identify the stratigraphy on the site in more detail and define periods of settlement in those places of the acropolis where excavation had not been carried out. Area 1/2008 was determined by geophysical survey. The stratigraphic situation was documented in the examined trenches, which brought new knowledge of the cultural layering. The hill-fort was populated in several prehistoric and early historic periods. The most intensive was settlement in the Early Iron Age (Hallstatt period). The excavation’s most significant result is uncovering of a part of stone foundations of a house and its inner space (destruction layer and hearth floor) from Hallstatt period (HC), whose dimensions correspond to the anomaly recorded already in the geophysical survey.

Geophysical and aerial survey of a number of Early Iron Age sites in central Poland has produced information on the internal organisation of these sites that contributes to that the type of spatial organisation present there was significantly different from that at Biskupin, Izdebno and Smuszewo. Samples for dendro dating were also obtained which suggest that the main period of use of Sobiejuchy was a little earlier than that of Biskupin. A single date was also obtained on a post from Ostrowite Trzemeszenskie. Together these contribute to the question of the start date of Hallstatt C in Central Europe, the period to which the material culture of these sites mainly belongs.

In literature, the hillfort in Svätý Jur is known as an important early medieval centre, dated back to the 9th century, most notably to its second half. However, the first evidence of the use of the site in the early medieval period comes from the 8th century. Part of the monuments could also belong to the first half of the 10th century. In addition to the central acropolis, which is defined by massive ramparts, the hillfort has two chronologically slightly younger baileys. The archaeological research took place here in the years 1957–1962 and restarted again in 2006. Nevertheless, information about the settlement density and its inner structure as well as the character of the fortification system is relatively modest. In this regard we tried to gain new knowledge by deploying a wide range of geophysical prospecting methods. Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Geo-radar survey (GPR) measurements were carried out, focusing on the fortification elements of the hillfort. Within a third used method – magnetometry, we focused on the prospection of inner area of both outer baileys. On this count, it was possible to define the internal structure of the ramparts and identify some of the constructional elements of the wall, as well as to define the extent of the inhabited area and locate several settlement structures. From the methodological point of view, the comparison of geophysical data with the results of earlier archaeological research played an important role.
