The settlement was discovered during the rescue research in the cadastre of Vysoká pri Morave from the Late Bronze Age. Most of the explored objects were post/column pits, in one case there appeared a storage pit, seven objects are representing not specified settlement pits. Fragmental findings from partially damaged post/column pits allow dating of this settlement to the older phase of the Middle-Danube Urnfield culture. It was possible to identify at least three ground planes of above-ground buildings, which, because of their size, were likely to be used as residential units. Their disposition is similar to other well-known buildings on the Late Bronze Age settlements in the Middle Danube area. Due to its atypical localization in the floodplain, this settlement represents a significant contribution to the settlement strategies of the Late Bronze Age.

The aim of this article is to present results of the rescue excavations carried out in spring 2016 at the site of Lúčna district in Detva, where settlement from the end of the Bronze Age had been discovered. The article presents finds discovered during the removal of the topsoil and monitoring of excavated foundations of a detached house at building plot no. 7381/27 in the residential area of Detva. In the corner of the building plot with area of approx. 10 m2, a rich cultural layer and ground plan of a quadratic structure with an oven in the interior were uncovered. Dating of the settlement to the Late Bronze Age is enabled by fragments of various smaller and bigger mostly thick-walled vessels and pottery with high-quality black burnished surface including slanted as well as vertical flutings. It is a newly discovered settlement corresponding with the known prehistoric hillfort of Detva-Kalamárka, which is approx. 5 km north of the studied site.

The practice of burying the deceased without cremating them during the Late and Final Bronze Age is a rare occurrence in Central Europe, as it was established and widely respected practice to cremate the deceased before burying them. Despite the low number of instances of this practice, its information value may be significant, which is why a new commented list of all Urnfield culture inhumation graves in Moravia was prepared. It includes a total of 11 sites, including eight graves from the Late and seven from the Final Bronze Age; inhumation are completely absent in the eastern and northern Moravia. Based on this list, the current knowledge about this issue has been summarised and explained within broader geographical contexts and interpreted (where possible). While in the case of inhumation burials during the Late Bronze Age we can talk about isolated exceptions related most probably to earlier Middle Bronze Age burial practices, during the Final Bronze Age we can begin to see connections with the new wave of innovations coming from the Carpathian Basin. Inventory of inhumation graves differs from contemporary cremation graves, it is clear that in comparison with ordinary funerals, fewer ceramic vessels and more parts of costume appear in graves with unburnt bodies. In the case of jewelry, the original function can be well established thanks to the functional position.

Western part of the Carpathian Mountains is characterized by a high level of metalworking during the Late Bronze Age (app. 1325 – 1050 BC), with characteristic shapes and decorations, and some exceptional finds of bronzes. Readings of data on mass metal deposition by the Nordic and Anglo-Saxon models of conceptual thought usually associate the selective deposition of Bronze Age metals with regular votive offerings by the population. However, if votive deposition were a common practice in the Urnfield culture, one would expect such hoards to be distributed chronologically more evenly and on a wider geographical scale. The Melčice-Lieskové I (BD/HA1; app. 1225 – 1175 BC) and Melčice-Lieskové II – IV (HB1a; app. 1075 – 1025 BC) hoards – using an extensive typological protocol and a rationalized documentary base – testify to wave, episodic and the regional nature of hoards in the central area of the White Carpathians as a reaction to specific social and political events, such as military operations or other conflicts. Hoards even contain items inherited for generations, with morphological features based on different technological-typological principles. Not only did they reflect the brutal struggles of the time, but they also witnessed the politics, economy, and culture of the Lusatian and Middle Danubian Urnfields, connecting the specifics of historical cases to broader social mechanisms previously recorded in global episodes of change and innovation across time and space.

The hoard from the village Podkonice is one of the group of hoards, found in the mountainous region in the upper Hron valley, the area stretching from the vicinity of Banská Bystrica to Podkonice, or Nemecká. Together with Podkonice, there are seven other sites with hoard finds: Baláže, Brezno, Ľubietová, Moštenica, Nemecká, Slovenská Ľupča/Podkonice. The site where the hoard was found is located in the north-eastern part of the area of Podkonice, at the place called Igovo. The hoard was found by local people before the year 2009. According to the discoverer, the hoard was located at a depth of 50 – 60 cm below the present surface. It was found in the original position. Through its excavating he did not notice any particular delimitation of space of hoard. The hoard consists of a bronze kettle in which 15 bronze axes, 4 spearheads and a sickle were found. The axes were on the bottom, the sickle among them; the spearheads were at the top. The content of the kettle consisted of objects, which were slightly damaged by use (?) or got damaged during processing. The total amount of metal in 21 objects is 3669 g. 15 axes can be divided into two types. The majority (13 pcs) belong to the socketed axes. Two of them are axes with a socket and a Y decoration. The four spearheads, of which two are decorated with an incised ornament. The sickle can be assigned to the type with the right cutting angle and two back ribs. The kettle with a handle is on the basis of some characteristics, especially the shape of the cross fixture, identical to the Merhart’s Group B. The slightly identical bottom with a standing rim also corresponds to the type B1. The outline of the lower body also suggests the type A, particularly Patay’s variant A2. In the literature directed to the bronze vessels, respectively the bronze industry in general, we were only able to find one direct parallel from Unterglauheim in Bavaria. According to the accompanying findings, both objects are dated in HB1. The damaged kettle was used for the deposition of working tools and common types of weapons. They present goods designated for trade exchange, the craftsman added some damaged products by mistake. The environment with a dominant rock massif does not give us a clear answer as to why it was deposited here. For ‘temporary’ deposition, the rock could serve as an orientation point, it could also be a place of some cult act, but the content of the kettle does not support this possibility. The character of the country does not suggest any roads suitable for transportation by use of animal force, but more likely for load bearers who were used to much heavier loads than the deposited objects, weighing only 3.5 kg.
