The paper presents the outcomes of geophysical exploration on the premises of the former monasteries (the medieval Benedictine Monastery of St. Hippolytus and the modern Camaldolese Monastery of St Joseph) in Nitra and their confrontation with the outcomes of the archaeological exploration. Several marked anomalies on several areas have been measured through geo-electric and GPR methods. The subsequent archaeological research found out that the measured anomalies reflect the presence of perished walled architectures, or their destructions. The anomalies of apparent specific resistance acquired in the area south of the ruins of St. Joseph´s Church corresponded with the position of unearthed walls of a Camaldolese monastery (monks´ dwellings, stone ceremonial walls, stone water conduit, etc.). The archaeological research on the Baroque terrace in the eastern part of the monastery´s premises showed that an exceptionally marked anomaly with rectangular ground plan does not represent a perished architecture, but the presence of a thin layer of stones from the destruction of the Baroque monastery. The layer of stones originated after the perishing of the Camaldolese monastery (1782), probably only during the terrain adjustments at the end of the 19th century or in the 1st half of the 20th century. Other anomalies captured in this area were caused by stone paving, foundations of polygonal summerhouse and remains of stone walls of the Baroque water conduit.

This paper discusses the results of the aerial archaeological research of Early Iron Age settlements in Northern Transdanubia. The eastern, mountainous area is more difficult to explore, thus we can only talk about some aspects of the detailed research of two fortified settlements (Süttő, Százhalombatta). By comparison, detailed photomaps were made of the settlements in the western part, where cropmarks help in identifying archaeological sites. Intensive excavation activities have been conducted for three decades in the flat NW region, which is split between three countries and dominated by the river Danube and its tributaries. Several studies covered the topic of Early Iron Age settlements in this area and the topographical knowledge gained from the researches helps in interpreting the information from the aerial photographs.

In the spring of 2014, a joint German-Slovak prospection of the Žitava Valley was conducted with the intent of extending archaeological knowledge from Vráble-Fidvár to other sites in the Žitava Valley, an area in the Carpathian foothills which included a chain of Early Bronze Age fortified settlements. A series of 14 different known or suspected Early Bronze Age sites were evaluated, on three of which we decided to carry out further surveys (Maňa-Veľká Maňa, Bešeňov-Žitavský hon, Hul-Kratiny), including field walking, auger and geomagnetics. Despite very comparable surveying conditions, these three sites yielded very different results attributable to the different states of preservation and functions of the sites. In Maňa-Veľká Maňa, a slope of up to 7 % was recognized which contributed to the strong erosion and bad preservation of subsoil features. According to the geomagnetic results, the site at Bešeňov was not fortified. It seems likely that it was settled only intermittently or for a short period of time during the Early Bronze Age. The prospection in Hul yielded the best results. A fortification consisting of a ditch was detected by magnetometry. According to the pXRF-analyses, there was no human impact on the filling of the ditch, which suggests that the site was inhabited only for a very short period of time. In addition to the Žitava Valley work, a field walking campaign was carried out in Vráble-Fidvár. The distribution and density of the collected finds correlates well with the prospection completed in 2007. In February 2015, additional augers were performed there to collect sediment from the topsoil at approximately 40 cm beneath the surface. According to pXRF analyses, the concentration of phosphorus correlates with the pottery density.
