Description
Summary:A large set of militaria and numismatic finds in the form of several hoards and solitaire coins come from the sites of castle hill and Pohanská in Plavecké Podhradie. Finds of ammunition mainly consist of arrowheads for bows (13th–14th century) and crossbows (end of the 14th century–16th century), as well as ammunition for firearms. We have tried to connect the militaria with the horizons of the coin hoards which are related to war events in the site. The analysis of material showed that there are three clear time horizons. The first is the last third of the 13th century (1273–1291), the second horizon is the period of the Hussite wars in the first half of the 15th century (1428–1467) and the last, third horizon is probably related to the period of the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648). © 2021 by the authors.
