NOVÉ NÁLEZY LUŽIANSKEJ SKUPINY Z LUŽIANOK

The aim of this article is to present the results of the rescue excavations of the Department of Archaeology CPU in Nitra carried out in the last decade at Lužianky, district Nitra. The article presents finds discovered during the monitoring of excavated foundations of five family houses in the western part of the residential area of Lužianky on the Závodnikova Street. Total of 18 settlement features were identified on the plots embedded in the yellow loess ground with dozens of pottery fragments of the Late Neolithic Lužianky Group, daub fragments and animal bones. The findings complement our knowledge of the extent of the Neolithic settlement of the eponymous group in Lužianky and enhance our knowledge of the Protolengyel stage in Slovakia.
