NORIC-PANNONIAN BELT CLASP FROM THE POD ROHAČKOU SETTLEMENT, PLOŠTÍN, LIPTOVSKÝ MIKULÁŠ DISTRICT

In recent years, we have been monitoring a number of new archaeological findings from the Liptov Basin, either from well-known or newly discovered archaeological sites. The well-known archeological site Pod Rohačkou is no exception. Together with the Rohačka fortified settlement and the surrounding fortifications Bodová, Končistý, Iľanovská poludnica and Demänovská hora, they form a micro-region with traces of settlement from the Bronze Age to the Middle Ages. In 2018, the Žilina Regional Monuments Board began a systematic archaeological research of the archaeological site Pod Rohačkou under the Rohačka fortifications. During the six seasons so far, a set of more than 350 items from various time periods from prehistory to modern times has been obtained. Based on previous knowledge, the polycuctural character of the Pod Rohačkou site can be defined as the period from the Bronze Age to the Roman period, with the most significant representation of the Roman phase of the Púchov culture. It is this period that includes finding no. 67, which is an incomplete belt clasp, so-called Noric-Pannonian type and is the subject of this short contribution.
