The settlement in Slovenské Pravno, site Lamošova Prašnica, located in the Turiec basin in present-day northern Slovakia, was partly researched by multiple field surveys, small-scale research excavations and the development-led excavation from 1976. Despite the rather severe documentation and the inexpertness of local enthusiasts these activities offered quantity of movable artefacts. It was found out that the site was most importantly occupied during the Early Roman period, mainly in the second half of the 2nd century AD. The aim of the submitted article is to complete the information about settlement, pottery and other finds and evaluate them on the basis of more recent investigations and results of research in the region of northern Slovakia.

In recent years, we have been monitoring a number of new archaeological findings from the Liptov Basin, either from well-known or newly discovered archaeological sites. The well-known archeological site Pod Rohačkou is no exception. Together with the Rohačka fortified settlement and the surrounding fortifications Bodová, Končistý, Iľanovská poludnica and Demänovská hora, they form a micro-region with traces of settlement from the Bronze Age to the Middle Ages. In 2018, the Žilina Regional Monuments Board began a systematic archaeological research of the archaeological site Pod Rohačkou under the Rohačka fortifications. During the six seasons so far, a set of more than 350 items from various time periods from prehistory to modern times has been obtained. Based on previous knowledge, the polycuctural character of the Pod Rohačkou site can be defined as the period from the Bronze Age to the Roman period, with the most significant representation of the Roman phase of the Púchov culture. It is this period that includes finding no. 67, which is an incomplete belt clasp, so-called Noric-Pannonian type and is the subject of this short contribution.

Find contexts of two hoards of golden coins from the end of the LaTène period were expertly documented at the hillfort in the densely populated Váh river region in north-western Slovakia and knowledge of topography and settlement at the site was obtained. A ritual axe is evidence of activities in the early LaTène period.

The study is concerned with the development of settlement in the Žiarska Kotlina Basin, which is situated in the southern, middle part of the Hron Basin. The Žiarska Kotlina Basin is one of the oldest settled areas in Slovakia. It was already known in the Palaeolithic for its deposits of limnoquartzite. However, evidence of denser settlement comes only from the time of the Lusatian Cultural Complex. The Púchov Culture existed here in the Late Iron Age and Early Roman period. The Germanic tribes came later in the Roman period and in the 6th century probably Slavs. The Žiarska Kotlina Basin was relatively densely settled in the 9th and 10th centuries, with settlements concentrated close to the river Hron. The first written mention of the territory dates from 1075. Svätý Beňadik (today Hronský Beňadik) Abbey gained properties here. We lack written mentions from the following, 12th century. However, the territory was not uninhabited. Svätý Kríž (today Žiar nad Hronom), Hliník and Voznica probably existed. The castle lordships of Revište and Šášov were originated in the 13th century. We get our first evidence that the Archbishopric of Esztergom had property here. The majority of the settlements mentioned in written sources from the 14th and 15th centuries probably originated in the 13th century. The network of settlements still in existence today emerged at this time.

Several sites with rich findings are known from the area of the Púchov culture with a wide range of findings. They include a mass finding from the central Považie region, from the hitherto little-known site of Podskalie, on the flank of the Veľké skaly hill in the district of Považská Bystrica. It contains two examples of a hitherto unknown, new type of belt hook, a belt ornament and a pseudo-filigree basket amulet. A key, lock spring, cramp irons and two knives were also found. Several Celtic coins in circulation on the territory of the Púchov culture also come from this site, namely the Divinka, Nitra, Veľký Bysterec types, the Slovak or Kolačno type, the Liptovská Mara and Simmering types. The hoard and the coins date the site to the late La Tène period LTD.

The area of South Slovakia is one of the less researched areas. The density of its settlement in the La Tène period was highest during the middle La Tène, while in the late La Tène period the settlement stagnated. Late La Tène sites occur only in the northern part of the territory, which is the area of Púchov culture. Only six of the sites are in the Hron and Ipeľ river basins. Our research does not take into account the finds that date to this period too generally. The following are the hill forts that probably existed in the late La Tène period: Detva, Horné Pršany, Krivín - Rybník, Selce, Šášovské Podhradie and Žiar nad Hronom. The population of the late La Tène sites in Slovakia (including that between rivers Hron and Slaná) is normally identified with Celtic tribes. The Cotini are considered the bearers of Púchov culture. In the Hron river basin they are placed mostly in the northern areas (Detva, Horná Lehota, Horné Pršany, etc.). Sometimes, they are localised in the wider area of central Slovakia or even as south as the Danube. However, this is opposed by the fact that the area was not settled, or was only settled in the upper Hron river basin. It seems to be impossible that the Cotini would settle by the Danube. The Dacians are another group which can be excluded from the settlement in the Hron and Ipeľ river basins, since we do not have any evidence of them in this area, as opposed to the areas which border present day Hungary. We have just sporadic or unpublished finds from this area (Chrastince, Ipeľské Predmostie, Kamenín, Maďarovce, Slovenské Ďarmoty, Šarovce). The Osi might have been settled in the northern parts of Pannonia but written records of them are even scarcer than in the case of other ethnicities. As with the other ethnic groups, their settlement in the researched area is not attested in the late La Tène period, including the Ipeľ river basin, which is a likely settlement area. The bearers of Púchov culture - the Cotini - seem to be the only population that certainly lived in the upper Hron river basin. Some La Tène relics may have relation to the other Celtic tribes, especially the Boii or another, unnamed tribe. Based on excavations, the only ethnic group in the Hron and Slaná areas are the Celtic Cotini. The arrival of Germanic tribes to the area in the Roman period modified the ethnic map.

The study presents and analyses materials from two hillforts located in North-Western Slovakia, where the Early Roman Age skeletal graves were discovered. At that time, Púchov culture hillforts disappeared abruptly. Significant changes in ethnical composition as well as in power structure led to the modification of settlement structure in the Western Carpathians. Numerous pieces of weaponry, inventories and hoards show that both hillforts analysed in this paper were destroyed in the first decades of the Current Era. Inventories of graves containing Noric-Pannonian attire can be attributed to the same period. So far, we do not know any cemeteries or graves of members of the culture dated back to the younger La Tène and Early Roman Periods. There are only sacrificial sites with dominating cremation rituals. Female burials found on the slopes below the fortifications in Bytča-Hrabové and in Mikušovce belong – together with the older finds from Púchov – to unique finds attributed to the culture. Judging by the position of the deceased and detected fatal injuries, we can assume that these burials reflect some previously unknown ritual practices. The question of whether the deceased were members of the local culture or rather new colonisers – presumably coming from the Noricum milieu -  will be answered by prepared DNA and Isotope analyses.

There are two agglomerations of hill-forts and settlements in Turiec region, in northern Slovakia that provided remarkable finds from the Middle La Tène Period to the beginning of the Roman Period, from the pre-Púchov stage and the La Tène phase of the Púchov Culture. It is a system of terraced settlements and fortified refugia on the hilltops of mountains in Folkušová – Necpaly and Blatnica. Blatnica was the regional centre in the Early to the Middle La Tène Periods and the Early Roman Period. Both centres were used at the time of the largest settlement expansion in northern Carpathians, from the Middle La Tène Period to the beginning of Roman Period, when they became extinct violently. A special feature of the both agglomerations is long-term use, preservation state of old roads and combination of terraced settlements with fortifications on inaccessible peaks with great altitudes. Hoards of La Tène swords are the continuation of long tradition of sacrificial places around the hilltop Plešovica, which is enclosed with the Early Medieval princely grave. The study also observes a number of artefacts that document the connection of northern Slovakia with southeastern Europe in the Late La Tène Period.
