The article discusses the work of archaeologist Martin Horvat, focusing on his contributions to the documentation and management of archaeological heritage in Slovenia. It highlights his development of the data collection system 'Kronos' and its upgrade 'Kronos 2', which are used in several Slovenian museums and galleries. Horvat explains his early interest in medieval history, sparked by visits to the ruins of Pusti Grad near Lipnica. He emphasizes the historical significance of Ljubljana during the 13th to 16th centuries, when it was a major trading hub along important European routes. The article also covers his research into castles, particularly his work at Celje Castle under Professor Tatjana Bregant, which helped bridge the gap between archaeology and historical research. Horvat recounts how the initial belief that there was no archaeology on Ljubljana Castle was challenged through systematic excavations that revealed prehistoric and Roman settlements beneath the castle grounds.
