Trypillian culture
Trypillian culture is the culture of the Neolithic people identified on the territory of modern Ukraine, Moldova, and Romania, which existed between 5400 BC and 2700 BC. The name derives from the village of Trypillia (Трипiлля) near Kiev, Ukraine, where it was discovered by archeologists in 1897. It is sometimes referred to as Tripolian culture, from the Russian version of the name: Триполье (Tripolye).
This culture is basically the same as the Cucuteni culture on the territory of modern Romania.
As of 2003, about 2000 sites of Trypillian culture have been identified.
It is suggested to enter the Tripillya Reserve into the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
