Abstrakt
The historical town hall of Banská Bystrica was rebuilt in the second half of the 16th century from a medieval town mansion that had traditionally been owned by the town’s high-ranking citizens. As the building was an important structure, there is an extraordinary record of written sources depicting its history. However, there is almost no information before the year 1500 due to the fire that destroyed the town archives. Just as the fire obliterated the written record, modern construction activities severely damaged the archaeological record. The archaeological survey at the historical town hall of Banská Bystrica conducted between 2008 and 2009 could be considered a prime example of a rescue event. The small assemblage of artefacts dated shortly before and after the great fire was complemented by animal bones, water-preserved wooden planks, and archaeobotanical material. These finds underwent dendrochronological and radiocarbon dating, providing clues for assessing settlement continuity from the pre-colonisation period. By applying an interdisciplinary approach, which included the analysis of pottery, chemical analysis, DNA sampling, archaeobotanical and archaeozoological analysis, it became possible to reconstruct certain aspects of everyday life as well as the environment in the town and its surroundings.
