The contribution presents results of material analysis of beads excavated in the Kalenderberg-culture´s hillfort in Smolenice-Molpír (HC 2/HD 1 or in the site chronology Smolenice I and Smolenice II ). The finds were found mostly at the acropolis (83 beads). No glass manufactures were revealed at the site. A revision of the complicated field situation has précised cultural affiliation of the beads. The article is aimed at exact evaluating of the beads material with special attention to glass. For the analysis a non-destructive method of microscopic photographs was used. As far as their material is concerned a based on reached results, the beads from Molpír can be divided into four masses: 1 - pure or transparent glass (Fig. F29: 1); 2 - imperfectly molten glass (Fig. F30: 1, 2); 3 - glaze (Fig. F31: 1, 3) - surface glassy layer on the bead ceramic core; 4 – ceramics (Fig. F32: 1). Aim of the submitted article is to present only the results of microscopic analyses of beads material, while their more voluminous evaluation was elaborated in the diploma thesis of the author of this article.

In almost thousand-year lasting development of the Lusatian culture there may be defined two cultural landscapes: the older one without fortified hill forts and the younger one for which the fortified hill forts are typical. On one hande the Lusatian culture folk fluently continue with its organisation and distribution of lowland settlements the previous development of the Early Bronze Age (Northern part of the Middle Ponitrie), whereas on the other hand it expands southwards and occupies the space, which was populated by the Čaka culture folk (Southern part of the Middle Ponitrie), and became the dominant element influencing the cultural landscape formation. By the digitalization of the registered localities and their display on a thematic topographic map in the scale 1:10 000 it was possible to define two distinctive agglomerations or models of settlement complexes: the first model related to the concentration of the hill forts Krnča-Tábor, Klátova Nová Ves-Šiance, Kovarce-Veľký Tribeč and the second one concentrated around the line of the hill forts Štitáre-Žibrica, Nitra-Zobor and hill fort Dražovce-Kostolík. On the example of two models of the settlement complexes it has tried, with the help of the basic GIS-analyses (“view shed” and “pathway”) on one hand to point out the possible process of hierarchy of the fortified hill forts and on the other hand to define from the spatial aspect the zones of their direct influence. The analyses have been based on the hypothetic model situation, that all of the fortified settlements existed in simultaneously in the same time period. Considering the research state, we aware of the fact that the presented results are mostly in a hypothetic level and it will be necessary to execute the intensive terrain survey in order to prove or disprove them.

The paper deals with the oldest glass products in the Slovak territory, which are glass beads. On this occasion there is pointed out their occurrence in the individual cultural complexes of the urnfields, the status of research as well as the possibilities of research in the given issue. The first finds of glass beads in urnfields in Slovakia occur in the Middle Bronze Age. They occur in all cultural complexes of urnfields in the Young Bronze Age. Just in this period we record their largest distribution. The appearance of glass beads markedly decreased in the Late Bronze Age. The glass beads are known mainly from the cemeteries. They are almost homogeneous from the typological view. They are unserviceable for the dating of archaeological features. In the present status of research the question of the glass beads provenance remains still opened.
