Abstract: In 2017, a rescue excavation was carried out in Levoča, site Novoveská cesta, during which six cremation graves were discovered. The cemetery could be dated to the Roman Period – periodical stage Eggers C1, or more precisely between the periods Eggers B2/C1 – C1. The grave assemblages, funerary rite as well as the whole context of Roman Period cultural history in eastern Slovakia suggests that discovered graves most probably belonged to the Przeworsk culture. Presented paper describes the find situation, excavation methods, typo-chronological analysis of the artefacts as well as short evaluation of discovered finds in terms of cultural history of the region.
