This treatment has largely remained unexplained by previous research in Central Europe due to its descriptive nature. As a result, we present several thoughts on some key issues here. First, we discuss the current state of research in Central Europe, as well as some specifics with regard to the LPC and cremation. Second, we focus on two graveyards with exclusively or primarily cremation graves. Based on the current state of research, our goal is to evaluate the results obtained using a quantitative data analysis method, as well as an evaluation of the interpretation of cremation within the LPC population.

The assemblage includes the diagnostic ceramic material found during systematic excavation since 2016. The amount and variability of the culturally heterogeneous pottery collection document the intense presence and movement of people at this hillfort in the Urnfield culture period. A thorough analysis of the pottery allowed the specification of the basic settlement phases from the Late Bronze Age (stage HA1) to the beginning of the Hallstatt period (stage HC1), which corresponds with the period approx. from the 12 th to the 8 th century BC. Highland settlement at Upper castle site belongs to a system of hillforts established at geographically favourable sites in the mountainous region of the Slovenské stredohorie mountains at the end of the Bronze Age.

The publication is the output of the complex processing of the preserved archaeological material from the Lower Castle of Pustý hrad in Zvolen from seasons 2009-2014. The book informs of the site’s settlement from the oldest times to the modern era and presents all kinds of discovered archaeological and construction-historical finds. It also offers a detailed analysis of the terrain situation and the monument’ restoration. The work also includes a review of the investigation at the archaeological site so far, geological characteristics of the location, fauna and flora of the area, history and everyday life at medieval castle and, finally, forms and opportunities for popularization of the national cultural monument of Pustý hrad in Zvolen.
in Hurbanovo-Bohatá. Their presence in structures does not suggest any existence of an area on the site where
siliceous material would be processed. We can rather assume that the inhabitants were orientated on agriculture.
Based on the research of 185 finds from the settlement, three groups of stone industry have been assessed: chipped
stone industry, polished stone industry and ground stone industry.
The chipped stone industry (Table 14) consists of 47 items with predominance of flakes and blades. The set
comprises a high number of tools (Table 22), particularly various types of scrapers and retouched blades, and includes
also artefacts with utility/working retouch. Petrographic study of the artefacts proved that a wide range of siliceous
materials had been used in the production of chipped stone industry. Both domestic raw materials (radiolarite,
hornfels, limnosilicites, jasper and obsidian) and raw materials from neighbouring countries were used, especially
from Hungary and Poland. From Hungary it was mainly radiolarite Szentgál-type, menilite hornstone and radiolarite
Tevel, while from Poland it was Jurassic-Cracow flint and flint from glacigenic sediments.
The polished stone assemblage was represented in minimum amount. It consists of three whole hatchets and five
chips. For production was used material from igneous and metamorphic rocks.
The numerous collection of ground stone artefacts was made of sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks.
The objects in this group, used for everyday work on the settlement, included mainly grinders (made of sandstone
and tuff), grinding plates (made of phyllite) and grinding stones (quartz fluvial pebbles). On some phyllite grinding
plates and quartz fluvial pebbles were traces of red material on worked surfaces. The analysis of this material
indicated the use of cinnabar/red mercury sulfide (HgS), which poses the question of the significance of cinnabar in
the middle Neolithic.
