Znojmo-Hradiště
Historie
trukciou. Osídlenie tu pokračovalo aj v rímskej fáze púchovskej kultúry. Na ploche sa našla typická laténska keramika, vrátane maľovaných nádob, železné spony, náradie. Z 19. storočia pochádzajú tri zlaté keltské statéry, nález bronzového ramienka na váhy naznačuje možnosť výroby mincí. Výnimočným nálezom je depot 40 železných predmetov datovaný do 4. storočia – do tzv. severokarpatskej skupiny neskorej doby rímskej, ktorý spolu s nálezmi keramiky dokazuje že na počiatku sťahovania národov tu jestvovalo menšie sídlisko Významné postavenie mala lokalita aj v slovanskom období, kedy tu vybudovali veľkomoravské hradisko. Železné ostrohy datujú toto osídlenie už do blatnicko-mikulčického horizontu, na prelom 8.-9. stor.
