The paper presents results of analyses of various types of organic remains recovered from a waterlogged fill of the sunken structure from Hurbanovo (SW Slovakia) dated to the Early Roman period (1 st and 2 nd century AD). The structure represents a unique find -the only archaeological feature with waterlogged infill at the site and one of nine known from the Roman Period "barbaric" territory of modern day Slovakia. The waterlogging enabled the preservation of a wider spectrum of organic remains and taxa as known from contemporary Roman period sites in the region. Here are discussed charred and waterlogged seeds and fruits, waterlogged wood, charcoal, animal bones, molluscs and insects. Floral and faunal data yield evidence of crop and animal husbandry, domestic/household activities at the site, and convey information on the surroundings and human-exploited landscape. Taphonomic analyses indicate that the majority of ecofacts from the pit are in the secondary position, and therefore cannot be used for ascertaining the original function of the structure. This has been done solely on archaeological analyses of the contextual data and by use of analogy
