Paper presented the results of excavations conducted on the site Čierne zeme at Zvolen (Slovakia). Within the trench a segment of Hron river paleochannel was uncovered. It was partially filled with cultural sediments, which were naturally accumulated as a result of undercutting the banks of Hron during the periods of water surge. The trunks discovered within the sediments were radiocarbon dated to the time span between 2470 and 2280 BC. Besides them cultural layer yielded also some stone artifacts and collection of pottery fragments. The second one represent mainly the cultural traditions (e.g. Makó-Kosihy-Čaka culture) from the turn of Eneolithic and Bronze Age periods, what corresponds well with the radiocarbon dating of wood. Described site is another settlement point dated to this period in the Zvolen Basin. Younger group of pottery originates from Modern Era (16th-17th century AD) and may be connected with existence of communication route running along Hron river.

Both Catholics and later Protestants yearned to practice their faith at home. For both, the Last Supper held significance as it was then that Jesus requested the Apostles to drink wine and partake of bread, transfigured respectively into the blood and the flesh of the Lord. Catholics believed that the Transfiguration took place for real, hence their use of tin “Hansekanne” flagons with a pilgrim’s badge or devotional plaques inside them, most often with a scene of the Crucifixion. Protestants treated the Transfiguration in purely symbolic terms and used clay jugs with the scene of the Crucifixion depicted on the outside surface. Moreover, there is a clay plate with a scene of the Crucifixion, which presumably served to sacralize the bread that it held.

The Teplica castle near the village of Sklené Teplice is one of the less known medieval castles in the central Pohronie region. So far it hasn’t been the subject of thorough archaeological excavations, but we just have some finds from conducted survey. Its origin presumably dates back to 13th or 14th century, although there are no genuine written sources confirming it. The castle was most intensively inhabited notably in the second half of the 15th century, as documented from original sources dating back to that period. Back then it was under the control of the Brotherhood (Hussite warriors) led by Ján Jiskra of Brandýs. It is confirmed also by archaeological and numismatic finds, incl. the late Gothic seal presented in this paper. The castle started to lose its importance at the beginning of the 16th century and it got extinct in the second half of the 16th century.
