The analysed short dagger with an unevenly rounded/trapezoidal blade base with four openings for rivets was discovered during the systematic surface prospection in the village of Cífer-Pác (Trnava district). X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (ED-XRF) of the dagger’s surface confirms that it is made of tin bronze. With regard to the chemical composition of the dagger and typologically close finds of daggers from the Bronze Age in Slovakia and neighbouring territories, we can assume that the artefact was cast in the chronological period between stages BA2–BB1. The dagger from Cífer-Pác extends the group of bronze daggers as well as our knowledge of bronze metallurgy at the end of the Early Bronze Age/beginning of the Middle Bronze Age in Western Slovakia.

The paper presents the results of a non-destructive survey (geo-radar measurement, surface survey, archival research) of the Chapel of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary standing near the village of Horný Pial and summarizes the existing knowledge about this object. The chapel was long considered a modern building, nowadays its medieval origin is accepted, although relevant written sources are missing. In the years 2016 – 2018, a surface survey was carried out on agricultural land around the chapel. Several finds documenting the settlement of the site in prehistoric, medieval and modern times were obtained. In 2018, a georadar survey was carried out on the site. A total of six areas were measured in the interior and exterior of the church. Anomalous zones were measured in both the nave and the sanctuary of the church, on the basis of which we can assume the presence of four additional floors under the current floor. In the exterior, the remains of the defunct enclosure wall were recorded on the outer edges of the investigated area, on the other hand, no traces of the supposed sacristy were recorded. The results of surveys and archival research of modern canonical visitations supported considerations about the medieval origin of the chapel.

The study presents results of the analysis of five graves and 20 settlement features. These were excavated in 1997 – 1978 in the cadastre of the village Veľký Kýr. The uncovered features were split into two clusters. The first includes four half-sunken dwellings with stone ovens that lie around the perimeter of the open space. It served as a space for various social activities. Eight storage pits were situated on an area covering 1100 m2. The second cluster is situated 40 m away. It consists of two dwellings with clay ovens, one storehouse and four ovens. Three graves were excavated in the vicinity of the settlement features from the first settlement. Two other graves form a nucleus of a necropolis. It did not take on a regular form, possibly due to an abrupt end of the local settlement. One of the victims of the violent action was placed in a storage pit. According to the sporadic occurrence of material culture, the settlement was of short duration. It was limited to the last third of the 9th c. The settlement area is one of the units where agricultural products from the wider area were collected. Their total volume far exceeds the needs of its inhabitants. In addition to the abundance of storage pits, the site’s exceptional position is supported by a complex settlement pattern. Such presence is only recorded on fortified sites in the great Moravian period.

This article presents the results of the archaeological excavation carried out during the construction of the Operation and Maintenance Centre of the R1 Expressway east of Nitra in southwest Slovakia. Relics of a settlement from the beginning of the Late Stone Age were examined from January to March 2010. The weather and timing constraints had a significant impact on the excavation process. The geophysical measurements with a fluxgate magnetometer in the first stage of the excavation identified several anomalies, which were confirmed and documented by field excavation. The total number of examined features was 14. Some contexts (building structures or post-holes) detected by the magnetometer were destroyed by the stripping of the topsoil. Besides the evaluation of the found context, the article brings an analysis of all obtained sources. The identified settlement’s chronological position, confirmed by AMS radiocarbon dating, falls to the Early Aeneolithic - Ludanice group of the Lengyel Culture. The settlement also yielded a unique find: a decorated biconical amphora of the Jordanow Culture. It represents the very first import of this type into the territory of Slovakia.
