In 2017, a burial site destroyed by forestry works was discovered in Závod (Malacky dist.). Burials took place here mainly in the 2nd and the first half of the 3rd century. Among the finds from the second half of the 2nd century (B2/C1), artefacts of foreign provenance are numerously represented. They have parallels in the areas north of the Central Danube Barbaricum, especially in the burial sites of the Przeworsk culture. Whether this is evidence of long-distance trade, cultural influence or minor ethnic movements is a matter of debate.

The paper publishes information on the militaria from the building complex from the Roman period in Stupava (Malacky dist.). Iron studs from legionnaires’ footwear (caligae), found in the upper parts of fills from the earlier Germanic buildings, the bronze metalwork of a horse’s bridle, also found in the filling of a Germanic ditch and mail armour (lorica hamata), situated under the destruction of the oldest phase all originate from the oldest phase, dated to the middle of the 2nd c. Further finds – a crossbow fibula, bronze metalwork in the shape of a lion’s head, a dagger, possibly a helmet holder – come from these or later layers.

In the Late Roman period, the Suebe north of the Danube adopted the wheel-making technology for pottery production under influence of the nearby Roman world. This Germanic wheel-made tableware consists of two groups – pottery with smooth surface and pottery with coarse (grainy) surface. Archaeological research views the second group with serious contradictions, mainly reliable distinction of the local production from Roman pottery products. The article attempts to present the standpoint to the problem from the archaeological point of view and on the basis of presentation of the rich collection of this pottery from Cífer-Pác.

The settlement in Slovenské Pravno, site Lamošova Prašnica, located in the Turiec basin in present-day northern Slovakia, was partly researched by multiple field surveys, small-scale research excavations and the development-led excavation from 1976. Despite the rather severe documentation and the inexpertness of local enthusiasts these activities offered quantity of movable artefacts. It was found out that the site was most importantly occupied during the Early Roman period, mainly in the second half of the 2nd century AD. The aim of the submitted article is to complete the information about settlement, pottery and other finds and evaluate them on the basis of more recent investigations and results of research in the region of northern Slovakia.

The settlement in Peder, which was partly investigated in 1963, provided a collection of pottery and small artefacts documenting settlement from the end of the Early and during the Late Roman period. Despite the small area of investigation, settlement features, farm buildings, technical structures and a well were studied. The results of this investigation were published in 1969. The aim of the submitted article is to complete the information on pottery and other finds in form of drawn reconstructions and evaluate them on the basis of more recent investigations and results of research in the Region of the upper Tisza River.

In connection with a double-edged spatha found in a late Roman grave at the archaeological site of Hegyeshalom, Holdas-szántók, we examine the possibility of Celtic or Germanic origin of the Late Imperial Pannonian swords. The different parts of the swords are taken individually as a basis for comparison, given the shape of the hilt, blade shoulder, blade length and tip, scabbard and chape. In addition to the Western and Central European territories, we also cover the Eastern, parthus influence, and also the long swords of the Sarmatian tribes living in the vicinity of Pannonia provide information on the subject of late Roman spathas. It cannot be ignored that during many occasions the Imperium Romanum faced the different weapons and fighting style of the enemies on the battlefield, to which they were forced to adapt in the hope of victory. In determining the origin of swords, it makes difficult that we can only speak of a ‘pure’ Roman type if the weapon is identical in every detail to either the Celtic or the Germanic swords. Further the subject complicating the fact that the ethnicity of swords cannot be determined in all cases. Even if they were acquired as booty or are subject of trade by Barbarians and vice versa by the Romans, they are placed in the typological system based on the location of the archaeological site. After the sword discussed, it is also important to address the issue of the archaeological context the spatha was found. The deceased buried with the spatha in the Roman cemetery of Hegyeshalom, Holdas-szántók may have been a military veteran, confirmed by the fact that he was buried with his pilum, spatha and paludamentum. His onion-headed fibula suggests that after his dismissal from the military, he also held some sort of position in the community.

In 2012, the revision of the settlement finds from Šebastovce-Barca (1961, 1962) has started. It was focused on the detailed technical evaluation of pottery assemblage that has been presented in the scientific literature in 1961–1969.

The present study discusses the inventory of finds from a sunken house that decayed in the last third of the 3rd c. or the first half of the 4th c. The feature was investigated in 2010. The backfill layers contain a relatively large number of archaeological finds – pottery, glass, bronze, iron, bone and antler artefacts. Specifically, the collection of finds includes a coin, bone and bronze needles, spindle whorls, an amulet, iron knives, nails and fragments of tools. The analysis of pottery shows that the majority of ceramics were used for dining purposes while larger vessels – storage containers – are rare. Only a minor part of the pottery finds from the feature are Roman imports. Special attention is paid to the iron amulet box and the fragment of a clay vessel with a rooster-like (or hen-like) spout. The research together with other surveys in the Upper Žitava region corroborates the view that – contrary to previous beliefs – the region was densely settled from the end of the 2nd c. to the 5th c.

A copper-alloy scabbard with roughly executed open work plate from grave 108 in Zemplin, was preserved in two pieces. It has a semicircular chape and on the back plate probably was a long rib, going along the whole length, which function was to strengthen. Scabbards of similar construction are known from Bulgaria (Meričleri, Sofia Podueni, maybe Belozem) and the Przeworsk culture (Witaszewice, grave 147/1937). Similar form, but without such long rib represent finds from. Some badly preserved pieces of scabbards from Zaguminki, Lučka and Tuczno could be recognised as possibly specimens of similar type. They are dated to the very beginning of the early Roman period, are known from Eastern Europe.

Aerial prospection and systematic field surveys have documented an exceptionally intensive and extensive settlement in Chotín during the Roman Period. Its beginnings go back to the second half of the 1st century, when it was settled by the Germanic tribes. It continued to grow in the 2nd century, flourished in the 3rd and 4th centuries and survived until the Migration Period in the early 5th century. Farmstead structure of settlements with trench fencing around residential and farm structures have been detected in some parts of the area. Traces of a Roman temporary camp dating to the Marcomannic wars have also been found there. The short distance of the settlements from the Roman borders on the Danube had a huge impact on the immediate contacts between the local population and the adjacent part of the Roman province of Pannonia. Here, in the foreground of Brigetio, an important market settlement was probably founded as early as in the 2nd century. It may have been this settlement that Claudius Ptolemy refers to as Kelemantia. The existence of the settlement is attested by a number of imported Roman goods. With 649 fragments of terra sigillata and 747 Roman coins, the settlement outnumbers all sites in the Central European Barbaricum, and documents the extremely intensive trade exchange with the neighbouring Roman territory. The Germanic settlements in Chotín are likely to have played a key role also in the distribution of Roman imports along the eastern branch of the Amber Road, which led further north to the nearer and farther regions.

The tools found in Grave II at Korytnica include a hammer, a pair of tongs, and a file. The hammer, with its slightly bent head and inclined striking face, was designed for fine finishing work rather than broad strokes. Similarly, the remaining tools, which seem to be part of a tool-kit, must have been employed primarily in the manufacture of small metal objects.

The cemetery of the Przeworsk culture at Korytnica, powiat Jedrzejów contains two sites with smith's tools, Grave No. II from the end of the Early Pre-Roman Period and Grave 4/2001 from Phase B2 of the Roman Period. The latter can be identified as the burial site of a bronze- and goldsmith. The Korytnica assemblage is presented here against the background of similar finds from Central Europe. Further discussion addresses two points, the possible use of mock tools as grave gifts in the burial rite and the range of specializations pursued by craftsmen generally known as smiths. The extant inventory of the two graves offers one more proof of the relatively high level of economic development of the Przeworsk culture communities in the microregion of the Upper Nida River.

Based on available archaeological, written and iconographic sources, the article gives a picture of Germanic infants and juveniles. Here are analysed the Germanic burials of children and immature individuals in the mid-Danubian region from the 1st to 4th cent. BC. The territory under study comprises southwest Slovakia, Moravia and Lower Austria. Graves with anthropological classification of skeletal remains - infants, juveniles or individuals at the turn of infants/juveniles were included into the analyses. The territory under study provided us with 120 graves of infants and juveniles, 115 of them were cremation and 5 inhumation burials. In one case a common grave of a child and juvenile was excavated, in three other cases children were buried with adult individuals. Graves from settlements are presented in the article as well and grave goods are comparable with those from graves situated on necropolises. Grave equipment is confronted with age of deceased children, their evolutionary stage and specificities. Special attention is paid to clothing fittings, occurrence of weapons and artefacts of everyday use in children's burials. Cases, when an individual of juvenile or juvenile/adult age could be a parent, i.e. could have own children, can occur among the juvenile burials.

The article deals with a coin hoard from Haunoldstein (A) and the impacts of the Marcommanic Wars in Noricum. A letter in the Archiv of the Oberstkämmereramt has new data about the finding circumstances and a description of 29 Denari. The hoard consist quasi 900 denari, a silver ring and a silver brooch type A236m. Based on this description belong the hoard of Haunoldstein to the witnesses of the Marcommanic Wars. The authors give an evaluation on the coin hoards and the impacts of the Marcommanis Wars in Noricum in the study.

The article discusses the presumed functions of the provincial Roman mortarium discovered in the ‘princely’ grave in Poprad-Matejovce. The vessel may have served as a container for some unspecified food, as a component of a feast accompanying a funeral ceremony, or it may have been used as a lamp. In both cases, the strong influence of Roman culture on the population of the southern zone of Barbaricum at the end of antiquity is evident.

The research on Roman period archaeozoology is rarely discussed in Slovakia. So far, data suggest the great importance of cattle and pigs in the meaty diet and the focus on exploitation of caprines for the secondary products such as wool and milk. During the 3rd and 4th c. AD, an increasing role of pigs in the subsistence has been noted at Germanic sites in the vicinity of Bratislava. The analysis of a small bone assemblage recovered during the rescue excavation of the Late Roman period settlement at Veľké Zálužie (Nitra district), offered a similar results. The taxa representation as well as the sex and age assessment attested the leading role of cattle (33.6 % by NISP) among the main meat suppliers. Balanced proportions of pig (15.3 %), caprines (13.4 %) and cervids (10 %) pointed out their minor, but not negligible importance of pork, lamb/mutton and venison in subsistence of the local Germanic peoples. Scarcely presented dog and horse bones provided no indices of butchery registered elsewhere in barbaric milieu (e.g. Veľký Meder). Bones of birds or fish were not found in the material either due to hand-recovery of analysed samples or restricted role within the diet. The calculated withers height of cattle (113.7 cm) and morphology of the horn-core showed that the local animals were small to medium sized with short horns. The simple tools made of worked animal bones/antlers offered the evidence on processing the pottery and/or leather or gaming. The partially preserved skeleton of a fawn red deer aged 3 – 4 months was found in one of the settlement pits.

The paper presents the cultural situation on the northern slopes of the West Carpathians during the Late Roman, the Early Migration and the beginning of the Early Medieval periods. At the close of antiquity, the western part of the area under discussion was inhabited by communities referred to as the North Carpathian group. Their settlement model in that period included single-household settlements situated in high locations, and in wide river valleys on the edges of overflowing terraces. People who living in these settlements maintained contact with the northern, mountainous part of Slovakia, and also with the Carpathian Basin, the Danube River basin, and the post-Chernyakhov culture milieu. A new cultural cycle was initiated in the West Carpathians by the inflow of early Slavic groups representing the so-called Prague cultural province into the southern Vistula River basin. The decline of settlement of the North Carpathian group and the appearance of that linked with early Slavs both seem to fall around the middle of the 5th century, and there may have been a causal link between these two phenomena.

The problem of military is counted among popular topics in research on the Roman Period. That is why the authors of this paper decided to make a revision of the finds from the territory of East Bohemia (Hradec Králové and Pardubice Regions; Fig. 1). One of the objectives of this study is the analysis and evaluation of available material in Central European context. On the basis of available knowledge we will try to distinguish individual horizons of the occurrence of military and interpret them in more detail. The focal point of our interest will be mainly a collection of weapons from the cemetery at Plotiště nad Labem, which comprises the most part of artefacts with well-defined find contexts (Rybová 1979; 1980).
