in this exceptional strategical location on the confluence of the danube and váh river we have evidence of settlement in the end of the Middle and Late La Tène period. Although no area excavation has been carried out yet, important finds and features supported by rescue excavations allow us to classify this locality as an important site. Features and finds have been confirmed at eight locations. As for settlement features, they are pits of various functions and production features including the remarkable site of Nádvorie európy square with a series of six pottery kilns. They produced high-quality goods made on potter's wheel which also contained painted pottery. We suppose that Komárno in the La Tène period was one of eminent locations with concentration of production and trade. Thus, contacts were directed to the north, along the so-called váh route, as well as southwards and southwestwards.
