The Makó-Kosihy-Čaka Culture occupied a large territory of the Carpathian Basin at the turn of the Eneolithic and the Bronze Age. For several decades through rescue excavations in Slovakia, its source base has significantly grown. It is now more than 70 registered sites. Rescue excavation in Iža was carried out by the Institute of Archaeology of SAS in Nitra in the summer 2008. On this polycultural site ten features of the Makó-Kosihy-Čaka Culture were found and further potsherds of this culture were scattered in four other medieval features. The largest number of diverse material, over 85 % of total number came from the filling of the pit 31. Pottery and osteological remains of domestic animals were numerous, but small clay and stone artefacts were represented only at a minimum. The paper deals with the ceramic and decoration of the pottery artefacts. The pottery fragments were represented by ten types of vessels and their variants. Pots and pot shapes dominated in the local pottery production. The relatively numerous were also bowls, less jugs and cups. The shape assemblage was supplemented with amphorae, decorative pottery, glasses, plates and bottles. The main focus on the pottery deserves decorative ornamented pottery, which is represented by footed bowls and also in the Kosihy-Makó-Čaka Culture environment a unique vessel with rounded body, decorated with carved ornaments and girth lines made by technique called (Late Eneolithic) Furchenstich (stab-and-drag), in combination with a plastic crescent application on the shoulders. Based on the analysis of the material in this paper conclusions on the relative chronology and genesis of the studied culture are formulated in Slovakia, whereby we do not exclude the influence of the Kostolac decoration on the domestic population in Iža.

The article is a report on the procedure and results of the archaeological prospection in the cadastral territory of the village Jarok, the district of Nitra. During the research seasons of 2010 – 2012, past settlement in the village was systematically mapped and analysed, in order to clarify and complement its oldest as well as younger history. As a part of the preparation for the prospection, all currently registered sites were mapped, and known data on the cadastre settlement were evaluated. Collection activities, with positive results, were carried out in six sites, in one case the collection was combined with geophysical prospection of a selected quadrant of the settled area. At the same time, aerial images covering the village area were analysed as well, and into account were taken also the vegetation and soil symptoms identified during the remote screening through GoogleEarth service. During the three seasons we managed to collect 4100 pieces of pottery fragments, small features and stone flakes, which increased our knowledge on an almost continual settlement of the Jarok land area since prehistoric times (the Neolithic, Eneolithic, Bronze Age, Hallstatt Period), through proto-historical (La Tene Period, Roman Period) and medieval periods (8th – 9th century, 12th – 13th century, 14th century), up to the Post-medieval Period. The results obtained within the archaeological prospection of Jarok contributed to a higher and more complex understanding of the picture of the distant history not only of the village and its close vicinity, but of a wider area of the middle Danube River Basin.
