A significant quantity of archaeological material has been found at the tell of Zámeček (the name means "small castle", "château"), settlement layers of which have been estimated to date from about 4,800 BC onwards. For this reason this place has become known as the "Slovakian Troy".[2][3] The oldest settlement was established by the Lengyel culture in the early 5th millennium BC. A settlement of the Baden culture was later built in the same location, c. 3000 BC. The most significant period of occupation was during the Bronze Age, c. 1600 BC, when a large fortified settlement was built by the Mad'arovce culture.
The sculpture of Venus of Hradok
A famous find was a Neolithic (Lengyel culture) figurine of a sitting woman, which was dubbed Hrádocká Venuša, or the Venus of Hradok. "Venus" is an umbrella term used in archaeology for objects of this type. The figurine was depicted on Slovakia's two-koruna coin. In 1997 a statue by Jaroslav Gubric was erected at Hradok, an enlarged copy of the figurine.[2][3]
