Results of Natural Science Analyses of the Baden Culture Materials in the Šariš Region, North-Eastern Slovakia

b e r t Z a S t a w n y the study presents a general characteristic of the ari agglomeration of the baden culture (bac) following from the data of archaeological and mostly natural science analyses (mineral-petrographic, archaeozoological, archaeobotanical, anthropological and radiocarbon). representative find contexts from three settlement areas and one locality with burials were selected form the region for comparative analyses. the above-mentioned sites identify the bac settlement period in the region from the horizon of the bolerz/early classical bac stage (baden i/ii) to its late classical development stage (baden iii/iv). the published data were excerpted from a more extensive information database containing results of analyses of bac find contexts from trans-carpathian regions of Slovakia (gemer, koick kotlina basin, Zempln, Spi, ari) and lesser Poland, which were integral parts of the north-eastern regional expansion of the baden cultural complex.
