SÍDLISKO Z NESKOREJ DOBY BRONZOVEJ V DETVE V POLOHE LÚČNA ŠTVRŤ

The aim of this article is to present results of the rescue excavations carried out in spring 2016 at the site of Lúčna district in Detva, where settlement from the end of the Bronze Age had been discovered. The article presents finds discovered during the removal of the topsoil and monitoring of excavated foundations of a detached house at building plot no. 7381/27 in the residential area of Detva. In the corner of the building plot with area of approx. 10 m2, a rich cultural layer and ground plan of a quadratic structure with an oven in the interior were uncovered. Dating of the settlement to the Late Bronze Age is enabled by fragments of various smaller and bigger mostly thick-walled vessels and pottery with high-quality black burnished surface including slanted as well as vertical flutings. It is a newly discovered settlement corresponding with the known prehistoric hillfort of Detva-Kalamárka, which is approx. 5 km north of the studied site.
