Kamyane-Zavallia, the Easternmost Linear Pottery Culture Settlement Ever Excavated

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The paper presents recent fi eld-work in south-western Ukraine. Three new sites of Linear Pottery Culture were found in the north Odessa region. The Author argues that they constitute a cluster of settlements and indicate the Neolithic colonisation of the region. One of the sites, Kamyane-Zavallia, was excavated. A typical long pit was uncovered, alongside a stone pavement and a narrow, deep trench. They could probably have formed part of a typical LPC house's layout. Ceramic imports of the Dudeti culture revealed long-distance contacts with the farmers of Lower Danube valley.
