One-handed sword from the site Posádka near Gajary was found during dam construction at the Morava River and originally was associated with a Hussite fortress from the mid-15th century that protected a ford across the river. The sword was documented using X-ray imaging, the blade to XRF analysis and metallographic analysis. The blade bears two marks – a Calvary cross and a floral motif – of inlaid brass. Metallographic analysis of the blade showed that its makeup was that of a soft core wrapped in a steel coat. The sword production process was experimentally reconstructed. Based on period iconographical sources, the sword is being dated to the second half of the 13th century. It is likely a relic of the Battle on the Marchfeld, between King Ottokar II of Bohemia and Roman Emperor Rudolph I Habsburg that took place on August 26 1278.

In 2017, in Závod (district of Malacky) during forestry works a destroyed Germanic burial ground dated to the Roman period was found. On the basis of topographical data and composition of finds, it is possible, to identify this burial ground with that mentioned by E. Beninger. The numerous imports from Roman provinces, from areas north of the Carpathian Mountain and Elbe area region, show intensive multiregional contacts held by the local community. There is an ongoing discussion whether this is a proof of extensive trade, cultural influence or ethnic transfers. The burial ground dates back to a period comprised between the last third of the 1 st century and the 4th century.

The paper deals with knowledge about the religious community of Anabaptists, which can be found in the work of the Hungarian polymath, geographer and historian Matthias Bel. The territory of presentday western Slovakia was inhabited in the past by several German-speaking ethnographic groups. One of them was the members of this radical religious- -social movement, who were also known under the ethnonymic name – Habans. The primary goal of my study is a comprehensive analysis of the information contained in Bel’s work Historical and Geographical Knowledge of New Hungary (Notitia Hungariae Novae historico-geographica), which relate to the Haban population and its settlement within the territory of Slovakia.
