Summary/Abstract: Pavol Jozef Šafárik (1795-1861) became known mainly thanks to his work Slavonic Antiquities expert not only on the Slavic past. At the time of the establishment of archaeology, he was therefore sometimes considered an archaeologist. Šafárik himself considered himself a philologist, even in the designation as a historian, he was rather modest. We have again mapped Šafárik's approach to material monuments, the factual references in his work and his views on the pre-historic period. From the analysis of it can be summarized that Šafárik certainly belongs to the group of people who need to be considered for this phase of contemporary archaeology, but he was not an archaeologist in the true sense of the word.
