Annotation
Between the 14th and 17th centuries, significant social and economic changes took place in Upper Hungary, which is also reflected in the development of ceramics. The Hussite raids and the Ottoman invasion influenced the life of the inhabitants of Upper Požitavie. The thesis focuses on the analysis of ceramics from the castles of Gýmeš and Hrušov, which will be compared with the findings of ceramics from the surrounding villages and the town Zlaté Moravce. The first pottery centres in Pukanec and Brehy were discovered, whose products supplied the area under study.
