STREDOVEKÉ DEDINSKÉ SÍDLISKO V BITAROVEJ

The study presents results from the rescue archaeological excavation in Bitarová in the year 2010. Excavation was induced by the construction of highway D1 Hričovské Podhradie-Dubná Skala. At the location Lány in Bitarová altogether 39 settlement objects, dated to the Púchov culture and Middle Age, were excavated. Torso of a defunct village settlement dated to the 12th – 13th century represents the most significant horizon and it is the main subject of this study.
