The manor house at Polhov Gradec

Abstract

Rescue archaeological excavation was performed in 1991 and 1992 at the manor house/castle of Polhov Gradec. Remnants of the foundations of earlier structural phases of the castle were uncovered, as well as archaeological material that was mostly preserved in the filled and mixed layers of the surrounding ditch. We defined eight construction phases dated to the period from the 14th to the 18th centuries. The structural analysis is based on analyses of written sources, art historical analyses of the walls, and the chronological classification of the archaeological finds. The preserved archaeological material contained mostly kitchen ware, and to a lesser extent table ware, glazed and painted vessel, also of foreign provenience. The finds included some glass objects, three coins, and a lead seal.
