Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the beginnings of the archaeological investigation of the Hradisko site in the village of Jánovce in the Poprad district at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. It is an unforested and dominant in the landscape hill located south of the Machalovce district. The locality is known to the professional public for a long time as an important fortified production and trade centre of the Púchov culture from the Latin and Roman periods. The hill and especially the area below hill and the hill in general have been inhabited since prehistoric times. The importance and research potential of the site was realised by researchers as early as the end of the 19th century. Despite this, the site has never been systematically investigated and has only been evaluated on the basis of archaeological finds obtained during surface surveys.
