Results of archaeological research into the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul in Holice, Dunajská Streda district

Autori v článku predstavujú výsledky archeologického výskumu Kostola sv. Petra a Pavla v Holiciach, vyvolaného obnovou objektu v roku 2006. Preskúmané bolo presbytérium kostola a v exteriéri priestor pozdĺž obvodových múrov. Historický terén v presbytériu bol v 1. pol. 18. stor. značne narušený a nebola tu zistená staršia stredoveká architektúra. Výskum v exteriéri odkryl zaniknutú stredovekú sakristiu, ako i torzá ďalších dvoch murív, ktorých interpretácia zostáva čiastočne otvorená. Doložený bol prikostolný cintorín, pričom boli zachytené dva hroby v superpozícii s múrmi presbytéria a lode kostola. Nálezová situácia potvrdzuje predpoklad existencie staršieho kostola, resp. staršej románskej fázy objektu. V ďalšej časti článku sa autori venujú analýze nálezov mincí a bohatého súboru stavebnej keramiky. Z výskumu pochádza v rámci slovenskej medievalistiky ojedinelý nález reliéfne zdobenej dlaždice.The authors present the results of archaeological research into the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul in Holice, associated with the renovation of the building in 2006. The church presbytery and a space along the peripheral walls were explored in the course of the work. The historical terrain upon which the presbytery stands sustained serious damage in the first half of the 18th century and no medieval architecture has been excavated there. Research in the church exterior revealed a medieval sacristy as well as fragments of two other constructions, the interpretation of which remains partially open. The existence of a graveyard was confirmed, with two graves found where the presbytery walls and the church nave overlapped. This location supports speculation that an older church, or a Romanesque core of the building, may have once existed. The following section of the article is dedicated to an analysis of the finds of coins and a rich collection of building ceramics. The research also produced a unique relief-decorated tile, rare in the context of Slovak medieval archaeology
