In the first part of the multi-volume series about finds made of ceramic and other materials from archaeological explorations and prospections in Slovakia, the authors have focused on the evaluation of finds of pipes from archaeological activities of the company Archeológia Zemplín from Michalovce, carried out during the years 2009–2010. Based on a detailed survey of the problem´s treatment, they point to the starting points of the study of pipes at present. At the same time, they introduce a formalised way of the description of pipes and evaluation of the set of finds consisting of 30 pipe finds dated from the 17th to the 20th century.

The article presents findings of pipes by Z. Vozák from archaeological group Tip-Top in Šaľa. He collected together 105 pieces of pipes, which were discovered in the river and its surroundings. The pipes probably belonged to a miller or boatmen and raftsmen who sailed the river in the 18th century. Formalized specification of the pipes refers to the procedure that was published in the year 2013 (Čurný/Šimčík/Bielich 2013). In the last year interest in the treatment of this attractive type of material culture increased, resulting in conferences and seminars on history and archaeology of pipes and smoking.

In the second part of the series dedicated to the finds of clay pipes from archaeological excavations and prospection in Slovakia (Čurný/Šimčík/Bielich 2013), the authors have focused on evaluation of the pipes in middle and upper Nitra region deposited in the collections of the Tribeč museum in Topoľčany. This source base was built gradually from the 50´s of last century and the latest accruals have extended it on the present. Collected pipes are subjected to formalized description and subsequently evaluated. The contribution brings the historical and economic excursion into the issue of production and use of pipes on the monitored territory in the 17th up to 20th century.

The author defends the thesis according to which the Middle Ages time is an essential element in the creation of our modern cultural identity due to the fact that just this intermediate epoch prepares conditions that permit in Modern Times to absorb the legacy of Antiquity. It is stressed that only now, having liberated ourselves from the modernist attitude toward the Middle Ages, we start to understand their role in our cultural and intellectual development.

The contribution was created by processing the collection of clay pipes finds from the depository of the Spiš branch of the Archaeological Institute in Nitra. In the present text, 127 fragments of clay pipes are discovered, which were discovered on Spiš. Clay pipes are described on the basis of a formalized description that we used in 2013 (Čurný / Šimčík / Bielich 2013). In the studied ensemble are dominated pipes from 17-18. Cent. Hungarian production. In the Spiš Castle was discovered clay pipes manufacture in the 70s of the 20th century by A. Vallasek (1983). Some clay pipes fragments can come directly from this workshop. We meet the producers of pipes from Banská Štiavnica, Kremnica, Miskolc and Male Ozorovce. We have succeeded in identifying several new brands whose producers have not yet been known. Analysis of individual files from different regions of Slovakia gradually shows certain regional differences. In recent years, interest in processing this attractive kind of material culture has increased, resulting in conferences and seminars dedicated to the history, archaeology of pipes, smoking and tobacco.

The military topic has always been a point of interest not only of the members of the armed forces themselves but also the military theoreticians who had been publishing scripts with military themes since the ancient times. Always, apart from that, there was also the professional military literature at the level of regulations, exercise rules or practical manuals and guidebooks. What is interesting is that in Modern Times, the military topic also resonated in the non-military environment and has found its fans among the middle class. The author focuses his attention on the reception of book publications with military theme in the non-military environment, concentrating on the private and institutional libraries in Slovakia. Compared to the aristocratic libraries, the books with military themes were logically represented in a much smaller number. However, it is surprising that the middle class libraries did not contain the accessible works of antique authors and were limited to the literally modern, practical works - the townsmen owned various manuals for handling particular weapons (muskets, spears, cutting weapons), works focusing on the contemporary situation in the military science and practice or scripts dedicated to military constructions. The author examined all the middle class libraries containing any works of this type, identifying and analysing in detail the individual works which were often mentioned in the inventory only in form of an incomplete record. He also drew attention to the works dealing with the military topic only partially, such as the works on military health care or spiritual service. In conclusion, he clarified the practical reasons leading the middle class to acquisition of the professional military literature.

The objects of analysis in the present article are historical images created by historians and, in particular, by historiographers and methodologists of history. Thus, its aim is to show the process of democratisation within the discipline at the background of the socio-cultural dispute about democracy itself. The material presented enables the revelation that there is a correlation between the image of history and political democracy: the former is dependent on political democracy, and at the same time it creates democracy. Through the knowledge that it generates, through the forms it takes and the content it communicates, history participates in a democratic discourse and constitutes the efflux of existing democratic practices. At the same time, it uses these diversified definitions to describe modern times. Democratic transformations preclude historical writings and knowledge to be isolated in an ivory tower of Academia: through its internal diversity, history becomes the practice aiming at the precise definition of democracy’s meanings. Analogically, modern times seem indispensably useful for history.

Proměny suburbia: Olomouc – Nová Ulice

EN
The article discusses the transformations of the geographical environment in the modern times, specifically an area in close contact with the important Moravian city of Olomouc. Its objective is to identify and assess crucial moments in the transformation of the structure and function of a selected settlement on the basis of the interdisciplinary approach using a methodological and source apparatus of history and geography. The historical geographical development of an originally autonomous municipality, later on a city and present day Olomouc suburb called Nová Ulice has been affected by both natural processes and political decisions. The impact of these forces often radically changed the face of Nová Ulice.

Reconstruction furrows deepened along the building and its vicinity were documented during a short rescue exploration at the Church of the Nativity of Virgin Mary in Veľké Chyndice. New information on the used construction technology and development of the object, consisting of the remains of Roman nave and apsis (13th century), Baroque nave (18th century) and pre-built tower (20th century), was acquired. It was shown that the foundations of the Roman building were built in bricks. Shallow foundations may have been fixed by the stone-brick sustaining wall only as late as in Modern Times. There was partial uncovering of a short section of stone-brick foundation wall, remains of the medieval sacristy renovated in Baroque, which made it possible to reconstruct its ground plan. A slightly misaligned sacristy, connected in the east to the apsis and in the west to the Church´s Roman nave, had inner dimensions of 3.33 x 2.62 m. It was found out that the pillars supporting the present nave of the church at the southern and northern side were not built during the Baroque reconstruction, as it has been assumed so far, but they originated later, perhaps at the end of the 19th or the beginning of the 20th century. The crypt attached to the northern wall of the church´s Baroque nave, probably in the 19th century, was partially explored. It was shown that the terrain at the southern side of the Roman building was lowered during the Baroque reconstruction (1735–1750) at the latest, which put a part of the Roman foundation wall above the level of the present terrain.

The urban elite that was unquestionably formed by the mayors and other leading representatives of the municipal administration and intellectuals, was a characteristic part of any modern free royal town in the Kingdom of Hungary. This distinctive elite community was based on their own laws. From the other parts of the population were different on the basis of assets, educational levels and a coherent and sophisticated wedding strategy particularly based on the affinity links. Purpose was to maintain the social status, influence and to keep urban authorities that managed the city. By analysing of the background of five detailed profiles of Trenčín’s mayors in 17th century, their different origin, religion and external circumstances, brings new facts of life in cities and present less known aspects of our history.

The aim of the paper is to present the results of archaeological, architectural-historical and geophysical investigations in relation to the dehumidification of masonry foundation of a national cultural monument Lutheran church in Nitrianska Streda (ÚZ PF 11276/0). The church is situated on the western edge of the lowland village of Nitrianska Streda, on the left Nitra river bank. The archaeological research conducted by Department of Archaeology in Nitra in 2010 brought to light late medieval and modern period pottery fragments and older architecture. For this reason architectural-historical survey of uncovered architecture followed the research. As the southern continuation of the three identified structures were with high probability completely destroyed by the church foundations and crypt, the expected results on the nature of the estate brought the geo-radar research in the northern neighbourhood of the church. Examined national cultural monument can be after results of the research extended to an archaeological site – extinguished late medieval castle. On this site was build the church in 1748 and in 1811 enriched by a tower. The castle is mentioned in written sources from the second half of the 14th century.

Extinct modern villages Lestina and Závada are located in the cadastres of today´s Hromoš and Ďurková in north-western Slovakia. They are distant about 3.5 km from each other. The authors have recognized them on the map sheets of the First military survey (of Joseph II). Shortly after, they were identified in the field and even geophysical survey was carried out in Lestina. The contribution is focused more specifically on the analysis of cartographic and historical records, as well as the results of geodetic-topographic and geophysical survey. The analysis of these records has shown that Lestina and Závada were small villages belonging to the Plaveč dominion that had become extinct during the 19th cent. Geodetic-topographic survey and geophysical measurement confirmed the existence of relics of stone buildings in the area of extinct Lestina. In Závada only relics in the form of man-made terraces are preserved.
