Abstrakt
The Púchov culture settlement in Likavka "Predné hony", was researched in 2008 during test excavations before the construction of D1 highway in northern Slovakia (Liptov region, stage Hubová - Ivachnová). The settlement known from previous and in between also from consequent archaeological field works was occupied during the La Tène and Early Roman periods, however, the test excavations yielded only the materials from the Early Roman period.
In the paper obtained immovable (sunken settlement dwelling with stake construction and entrance niche) and portable monuments (mostly pottery, rare stone and iron artefacts, archaeozoological and archaeobotanical remains) were analysed employing not only archaeological, but also archaeozoological and archaeobotanical methods. Thanks to interdisciplinary approach the alternative of traditional interpretation of immovable inventory of the dwelling (burnt area) could have been offered.
Investigated settlement has been considered also regarding the prehistoric and protohistoric settlement structure of whole microregion at the confluence of Likavka and Váh watercourses where the sites since the Aeneolithic till the end of the Roman period are present.
