Speculatores de Fyntha – Obydlie vojenských strážcov vo Finticiach?

The article presents the results of the rescue excavation realized in 2022 in Fintice, site Martinec (dist. Prešov). The most important find was a pit-house with regular almost square-like ground plan with a fireplace and storage pit. Based on the analysis of the pottery material, feature was dated to the 12th century or the first decades of the 13th century. Other finds included fragment of mail armour and fragment of a possible spur. Archaeo-zoological analysis has shown evidence of consummation of horse, rabbit and possibly deer. The site may be related to the military guardians (speculators) present in the site prior to 1272, when it was already deserted.
