Traces of History in Artefacts
This study investigates archaeological evidence of Varangian (Scandinavian) presence along the Dnipro route through a multidisciplinary analysis of metal artefacts and truncated spheroidal weights from museum collections in Ukraine. Fourteen non-ferrous metal objects, including costume elements, jewellery, and utilitarian fittings, were examined to determine their typology, origins, and manufacturing technologies. Chemical analyses revealed multi…
A complex subsistence regime revealed for Cucuteni–Trypillia sites in Chalcolithic eastern Europe based on new and old macrobotanical data
We present a comprehensive data-based characterization of the subsistence economy of Chalcolithic Cucuteni–Trypillia societies (CTS) on the Moldovian and Suceava plateaus and the Podolian and the Dnieper uplands. This study is based on a quantitative evaluation of archaeobotanical samples from 34 settlement sites, with a focus on Trypillia mega-sites and on stable isotopic analysis of ancient crop residues. The isotopic analysis allows us to iden…
Urbanization the Eastern Borders of Old Europe
Maria Gimbutas created an impressive picture of Old Europe, using, among others, materials from Trypillia Culture. From the very beginning, she took into account new archaeological discoveries from the 70s of the 20th century, namely, information about the large settlements. But fifty years ago, their studies were just beginning and this topic was not particularly popular among researchers outside of Ukraine. Today, news about life on the eastern…
Re-identification of plant impressions on prehistoric pottery from Ukraine
Community negotiation and pasture partitioning at the Trypillia settlement of Maidanetske
The inhabitants of the vast Chalcolithic Trypillia sites of Eastern Europe required highly organised strategies to meet subsistence needs. Here, the authors use isotopic analyses of faunal remains from Maidanetske, Ukraine, to identify intensive and extensive grazing practices. The former demanded intra-community negotiation to ensure access to high-quality pastures for valuable animals such as dairy cows, suggesting that pasture may have also se…
Geophysical Research at the Beginning of the Xxith Century
Heading for a long time the department of archeology of the Eneolithic-Bronze Age, Vitalii Otroshchenko joined the issues related to the study of Trypillia culture. He has repeatedly participated in specialized scientific conferences, at which he repeatedly touched upon the study of Trypillia culture, criticizing myth-making and myth-makers who speculate on the basis of archaeology in general and Trypillia culture in particular. During this time,…
The Exploration at the Late Trypillia Site Vilkhovets
Trypillya culture site near the village of Vilkhovets of Zvenyhorod Region of Cherkasy Oblast is one of the largest sites of the Kosenivka group from the end of CI — beginning of the CII stages of the Trypillia culture. It is occupied the area ca. 180 hectares. Large-scale magnetic survey on part of this territory and archaeological excavation were carried out here in the ninetees of the 20th century. The results of these researches and materials…
Від Яншао до Трипілля
В один і той самий час культурні комплекси Яншао і Трипілля-Кукутень пройшли подібний шлях суспільного розвитку, неодмінними компонентами якого стали поява великих поселень, у тому числі й укріплених, з великого розміру громадськими спорудами, ці поселення стають осередками ремісничого виробництва. Дослідники, по суті, однаково визначають їх, як протоміста. Різниця між Яншао та Трипіллям-Кукутень полягає в тому, що на Сході поступальний розвиток …

Trypillian Gold
The several dozens of gold items have been already found at the sites of the Cucuteni-Trypillia cultural complex for more than 100 years of their exploration. However, the serious research of the sources of yellow metal have not been conducted until now. Recent discoveries in Ukraine have made it possible, at least partially, filling the gap in our knowledge about possible sources of gold and its processing during the Eneolithic. Several years ag…
Maidanetske 2013
In European prehistory, population agglomerations of more than 10,000 inhabitants per site are an infrequent phenomenon. The unexpected discovery of the Trypillia mega-sites, excavated nearly 50 years ago by Soviet, Ukrainian and Moldavian archaeologists using a multidisciplinary approach, uncovered the remains of more than 2000 houses spread over 250 hectares. These extraordinary mega-sites developed at the border of the North Pontic Forest Step…
Productivity of Premodern Agriculture in the Cucuteni–Trypillia Area
We present paleoeconomy reconstructions for premodern agriculture, selecting, wherever required, features and parameter values specific for the Cucuteni-Trypillia cultural unity (CTU; 5,400-2,700 BC, mostly the territory of modern Ukraine, Moldova, and Romania). We verify the self-consistency and viability of the archaeological evidence related to all major elements of the agricultural production cycle within the constraints provided by environme…
The Second Phase of the Trypillia Mega-Site Methodological Revolution
The first phase of the Trypillia mega-sites' methodological revolution began in 1971 with aerial photography, magnetic prospection, and archaeological excavations of huge settlements of hundreds of hectares belonging to the Trypillia culture in Ukraine. Since 2009, we have created a second phase of the methodological revolution in studies of Trypillia mega-sites, which has provided more significant advances in our understanding of these large sit…
The ‘disappearance’ of Trypillia culture
The Trypillia-Cucuteni cultural complex over a period of almost 2000 years was an outstanding phenomenon east of the Carpathians, but it fell into decay. The Late period of Trypillia culture dates back to 3200–2700 BC and is represented by a few local types or so-called ‘post-Trypillia cultures’, all located in regions with different natural conditions and resources, from forest to steppe zones. Local features displayed different trends of change…
Comprehensive Site Chronology and Ancient Mitochondrial DNAAnalysis from Verteba Cave – a Trypillian Culture Site of Eneolithic Ukraine
this manuscript presents a study of a ritual site of the trypillian culture complex (tc) in western Ukraine where material artefacts are found side-by-side with human and animal remains. The organic content in pottery sherds made it possible to carbon date the ceramics found with bone remains, thus allowing a reference point for carbon dating bone collagen. this allowed us to develop a comprehensive chronology of the usage of the cave. Mitochondr…
Mitochondrial DNA Sequence Variation in the Boyko, Hutsul, and Lemko Populations of the Carpathian Highlands
Genetic studies of the distribution of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups in human populations residing within the Carpathian Mountain range have been scarce. We present an analysis of mtDNA haplogroup composition of the Boykos, Hutsuls, and Lemkos, three population groups of the Carpathian highlands. In our study Hutsuls had the highest frequency of subhaplogroup H1 in central and eastern Europe. Lemkos shared the highest frequency of haplogr…

This study investigates archaeological evidence of Varangian (Scandinavian) presence along the Dnipro route through a multidisciplinary analysis of metal artefacts and truncated spheroidal weights from museum collections in Ukraine. Fourteen non-ferrous metal objects, including costume elements, jewellery, and utilitarian fittings, were examined to determine their typology, origins, and manufacturing technologies. Chemical analyses revealed multi…
