The authors pay closer attention to macro remains of cultivated plants at the cremation burial ground from the Late Bronze Age (around 1200–750 BC) in Cinobaňa, Poltár district. 314 burials were systematically investigated and 730 archaeo-botanical samples were collected between 2008 and 2014. Among the samples, charcoals from deciduous species used at cremation prevail. Macro remains of cultivated plants were identified only in seven burials and were taken from pottery vessels of various types and functions. In five cases they come from pea (Pisum sativum), one comes from naked barley (Hordeum vulgare var. coeleste) and one from proso millet (Panicum miliaceum). The selected burials belong mainly to the Kyjatice culture, one to Piliny culture. The assortment of plants from Cinobaňa which has been preserved thanks to the burial rite is an indirect testimony of their cultivation in the Urnfield period in the southwest of the Slovenské rudohorie Mountains.

The article deals with the sedimentary rock of sandstone and sand in archaeological context, in the Urnfield period’s burial rite in particular. Sandstones and sand make a considerable part of the geological composition of the Cerová vrchovina hills in the south of central Slovakia. The topic is elaborated based on the published results of the archaeological excavation at the site from the Middle/Late Bronze Age in the village of Radzovce, Lučenec dist. The main emphasis is put on the sandstones and sand discovered at the large cremation burial ground at the site of Monosa, which documents their specific role in the burial rite of the Piliny and Kyjatice cultures. This information is extended by contemporary settlement material from the site of Somvölgy which confirms the polyfunctional use of sedimentary rocks, sand and Tertiary relics or the artefacts made of them at the site. Possible purpose and importance of selected finds from Radzovce, such as the storage pit filled with siliceous sand, is discussed.

The authors of the article analyse a remarkable phenomenon – occurrence of material from the La Tène period at sites of the Urnfield period. Their deeper interest in this topic follows from the stated sporadically presence of iron artifacts from the Late Iron Age at systematically excavated burial grounds of the South-Eastern Urnfields in the area of Cinobaňa and Radzovce villages in the south of central Slovakia. However, traces of activities of historical Celts are also evident at cremation burial grounds of other contemporary cultures or in tumuli from the Late Bronze Age in other regions of Slovakia. Typical and often peculiar artifacts from the La Tène period also come from several upland sites and hillforts predominantly settled by the Urnfield culture or from the Early Iron Age. The authors not try to present also the studied finds selectively, they attempt to categorise, interprete and last but not least, compare them with similar material from the neighbouring countries.
