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 paper presents the results of research on one area of the Early Medieval fortified settlement called Hradisko I in Spisske Tomasovce. The trapezoid-shaped area of approx. 3 ha. is from three sides fortified by a rampart of a timber chamber construction with outer stone wall. On the fourth eastern side the ramparts were joined to a rocky hillside of a possible acropolis of the fortified settlement Hradisko. The technical parameters of the fortification were not unified; the northern mound was 3.9-4 m wide, the western one did not reach 3.2 m. Dimensions of the chambers, which were indicated by the strips of burnt subsoil and remains of woods, ranged between 1.5-2 m x 1.9-2.3 m. The analyzed samples of woods proved mostly spruce and pine. The timber base grates and a vertical timbering of inner rampart wall were found at the northern mound. Considering the rampart strategy and static, the sorest points - the north-western corner, the gate in this corner and that in the western part of the northern mound - were reinforced with a special construction. The draining system of the surface waters was revealed, too. In front of the northern rampart a ditch up to 2 m deep and 7.5-8 m wide was found. The other ditch outside the northern rampart, with its dimensions alike the former one, and destruction of a stone-earthen mound indicate existence of the another smaller fortified area (of approx. 35 x 80 m). The type of the ramparts enclosing the main area represents a principal fortification technology in Slavic mid-Danubian (Great Moravian) defense construction in the 9th-10th centuries. Almost thirty fortified settlements that were built by analogical technology have been known from the regions of Slovakia, Moravia, Austria and Czech republic, another were explored between the Elbe and the Saale rivers, in Silesia and the Little Poland. Usually they are connected with the east-Frankish influence on local defense architecture, secondarily they are considered to be the influences of the Great Moravia or later Czech state. Considering the construction static, technology and the used materials, assumed height of the western rampart together with a palisade breast is approx. 2.6-3.6 m and of the northern rampart 3.6-4.1 m. Briefly calculated amounts of the construction material needed for 520 m long unequally thick mound of the main area on the terrace are: about 270 cubic m of timber for the chambers, about 60 cubic m of timber for the palisades, 1000 cubic m stone for the screens and 2250 cubic m of earth for the chamber fillings, what is together 3600 cubic m of the construction material, i. e. almost 7 cubic m of the construction material for a standard meter. Based on its superpositions, the fortification is dated to the terminal 8th up to the middle 9th centuries.

As a response to the information concerning the devastation of the site Bojná I-Valy by illegal collectors of artefacts, survey of the fortress was carried out in 1998. The survey confirmed that the site was damaged in several places, and several finds, most probably coming from the illegal collection, were identified as well. The features complement mainly the collection of items belonging to a rider´s equipment and point to the presence of a riders cohort in the fortress. Together with other finds, they also extend the information on crafts activities carried out the site.

The transition between the late Hallstatt period and the early La Tène period represents a notable phase of the Moravian prehistory. It is associated with the concept of the so-called ‘first Celtic expansion’ as promoted by Miloš Čižmář. The current sources on the 5th c. BC confirm the discontinuity of development in HD3 and LTA; and the expansion concept was recently confirmed by Petra Goláňová. Adding to the topic, Martin Golec and Zuzana Mírová have brought up the yet ignored aspect of central site with the continuity of elites during HD1 – D3 at Habrůvka – ‘Býčí skála’. The social system during the late Hallstatt period in Moravia can be defined as largely centralised, which conforms to P. Goláňová’s theory on LTA. The Provodov – ‘Rysov’ hillfort provides ample evidence in the form of findings dating to HD1 – LTA and is discussed within the framework of this topic.

The article deals with selected artefacts from the hillfort of Bojná I-Valy and its nearby surroundings from the high Middle Ages – early post-medieval period which have been brought by years of systematic archaeological investigation of the site and its hinterland. It is an assemblage of finds associated with rider’s equipment and horse harness (spurs, buckles, and bits), militaria (dussack, arrowheads). The hillfort is dated to the Early Middle Ages and after its demise. It did not renew its previous status. Nevertheless, the small assemblage of presented finds means a certain interest in the site and this area in the later period. The artefacts suggest a certain connection with the settlement in its nearby surroundings. They can also point to use of (today almost extinct) routes crossing the Považský Inovec mountain range and connecting the regions of Ponitrie and Považie.

Preliminary report presents both past and most recent archaeological excavations at the hillfort in Divinka. Located in the mountainous region of northwest Slovakia, this hillfort was inhabited during the three historical periods. The article briefly deals with the endmost, Early Medieval Period, more precisely the younger stage of the Great Moravian Period. The separate components of the hillfort, settlement features and the construction of its rampart are defined. The dating to the younger stage of the Great Moravian Period is based on select decorated metal artefacts (ring, fitting with neck and loop and three spurs). The result of the radiocarbon dating of the rampart of the outer bailey makes it possible to specify the time of its construction from the end of the 9th to the first three decades of the 10th century.

Between 1927 and 1990, the Pohanská hillfort in Plavecké Podhradie was repeatedly surveyed and examined using probes. After 2019, the results of laser scanning provided fundamentally more precise information on the shapes of the terrain and the course of the rampart. As a result of illegal activities, four mass finds were added to the collection: three composed of bronze artefacts and one of gold artefacts. The new finds confirm that the main period of settlement in this site in the Bronze Age was the middle and later urn field period, HA2–HB1.

The multi-seasonal archaeological investigation of the Lusatian hillfort and its catchment area on the hilltop and slopes of Veľký and Malý Lysec has brought interesting results in the recent years. They are mainly related to the study of material culture, identification of several settlement areas as well as the course of fortification. However, in non-destructive terrain research (i. e. identification, documenting and mapping) of immovable monuments in the forest environment and in the interpretation, using methods of remote landscape survey is almost inevitable. Airborne laser scanning and its further processing by means of an innovative method using Proxima technology is one of such methods; it has brought new knowledge in identification and interpretation of terrain relics on the studied hillfort. Comparing and evaluation of the main results of terrain prospecting and airborne laser scanning using Proxima technology is the basic aim of our article.

The study evaluates the bronze hoard, found in the cadastre of village Ilija, dist. Banská Štiavnica at the Lusatian culture hill-fort in Sitno. It was discovered during the excavation in 1986 under the floor of a dwelling in the trench I/86. It is a closed find that contained, in addition to the organic remains, a bronze belt with chased decoration, eight spiral bracelets, three twisted torcs, a spiral ring, hair trimmings, a pin, a leather belt closure with bronze patches, closed cast iron eyelets and with an application in the shape of a spectacle pendant, a sand-glass shape pendant and two fragments of torcs (?) ending with eyelets. The hoard is dated back to the turn of the stages HA 2/HB 1, most likely up to the stage HB 1. The study is divided into eight chapters. They include the history of the research, details about state of research at Sitno and archaeological context of the bronze hoard in the trench I/86, in depth 160 cm. The chapters dedicated to the results of the analyses of organic materials, preserved in the hoard, as well as paleobotanical results bring surprising findings, illustrating the technological processes of the production of the leather belt closure and the nature of the economic activity of the contemporary Sitno’s inhabitants, as well as the natural environment of the micro-region. The hill-fort at Sitno itself is presented as a centre of administrative, production, comercial and cultic centre of a supraregional character. The hill-fort’s inhabitants did not live in isolation, but kept extensive business contacts even with distant areas east and west. Evidence of these contacts is found in the pottery of the Čaka and Gáva cultures within the earlier stage of settlement, since the turn of the stages HA /HB a strong interference from the area of the Kyjatice culture is being noticed, as well as the influence of the Podolí culture.

The hillfort Háj in Sedliacka Dubová, dist. Dolný Kubín was discovered on LIDAR’s photo as part of the international police action so called “PANDORA VI”. In 2021, a non-destructive prospection and a detailed detector survey of the fortified area, including two survey trenches, took place by the authors of the paper in cooperation with the SEPTENTRIO Association. There was found a collection of several bronze, iron and ceramic artefacts, which can be dated to various periods from prehistory (younger stage of the Hallstatt period, La Tène period) to medieval and modern times.

During the turbulent Migration Period, the late antique population of Roman provinces sought protection in easily defendable prehistoric hillforts that had been previously abandoned and such sites became the region’s new centres. One of such forts has been investigated at the archaeological site of Majka Božja Gorska in Lobor. In the early decades of the 6th century, the fort experienced its construction peak and an early Christian church with a separate baptistery building was built. A cemetery was located around the church, with graves with inventory consisting of objects mainly associated with the late antique population and the Germans. The time when the Slavs occupied their new homeland is still very poorly explored, and the end of life of their predecessors, the late antique population and the Germans, can still be better tracked as opposed to the beginning of life of the new Slavic population. During the 9th century, Lobor would become one of the most important ecclesiastical and political centres of Lower Pannonia.

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.

Four hoards containing bronze artefacts, which were found illegally by a metal detector at the Lusatian hill-fort near Nemecka in 1994-1996, are professionally presented in the study. The total number of 43 artefacts comes from four independent units marked from I to IV. The hoard I included a head-band with forged geometric ornament. The hoard II consisted of twenty bronze rod neck-rings decorated with bundles of lines that make a feather ornament. The hoard III contained 18 artefacts - bronze cup of the Stillfried-Hostomice type with a bronze phalera inside it, 13 axes with socket, a sickle and two bronze cups. In the hoard IV three axes with socket and a spear were found. Around them a stone ring with diameter of approximately 1 m was formed allegedly. The finds were situated in its lower western half. Both the finder's information and the author's reconnaissance of the site proved that the finds were found out of the hill-fort area, approximately 50 m to the SSW of its shorter southern part. The hoards were situated on a terrace and followed a contour line. The groups of bronze artefacts were around 25 m distant each from the other. Analyses of revealed artefacts have dated all hoards to the Late Bronze Age. As their function is concerned, the all four cases are supposed to be votive donations. In his study the author gives also brief information on the history of the site and research. The hill-fort at the 786,3 m a. s. l. is a southern promontory of the Low Tatras mountain range. The creek Raztocky potok flows around the hill-fort from the west and the river Hron from the south. The site was situated in the N-S direction and even now its fortified line can be observed, which is the most remarkable on the southern side of the fortified area, where its height still comes up to 90 cm. The fortification was used to protect a rectangular area with dimensions of approximately 133 x 33 m. It was a small-sized hill-fort that was built as a refuge. In 1995 an investigation was led here, aimed in specification of the site chronology at first. Excavations proved that the site was settled by bearers of the Lusatian culture in the Late Bronze Age; later then in the La Tene up to the Roman periods and in the Middle Ages (the 15th cent.) as well.
