For a long time, finds of the Linear Band Pottery culture (LBK) on the Southern Buh numbered only two bowls from the Buh-Dnister culture site of Bazkiv Ostriv. After the recent discovery of a few more vessels and four stationary LBK settlements, some scholars have assumed the Neolithic incomers regularly inhabited the most of the region. However ne...

Traditional ideas about the origin of the Buh-Dnister Culture (BDC) and its synchronisation with the Neolithic cultures of the Danube-Carpathian region were questioned by series of radiocarbon dates measured on bones at the Kyiv laboratory in the 1998—2004. To start addressing this problem, 11 AMS dates on organic inclusions in the ceramic paste an...

The study of impressions of plants in ancient pottery is one of the traditional methods of archaeobotanical research. Twenty years ago, Halina Pashkevych identified traces of a few cultivated species on the potsherds of the Buh-Dnister culture (BDC) from the Southern Buh River basin based on naked-eye observations (Pashkevich 2000; Kotova 2002). In...

The research is oriented to archaeozoological analysis of faunal remains from the multilayered site of Bazkiv Ostriv, investigated by Valentyn Danylenko on the Southern Buh river in 1959. The preliminary results of species determination of animal bones are interpreted from the point of the seasonal and economic specialization of communities that in...

Finds of the Bug-Dniester painted ceramics are very rare. So far, only four fragments of dark painted vessels of the Bug-Dniester culture have been published. Two of them are from the sites of Sokiltsi VI and Bazkiv Ostriv in the Southern Bug area. Loss of one fragment and scanty information about the other led to contradictory interpretation of th...

An inhumation stretched on the back was excavated on Dobryanka 3 site in 2006. It disproved entrenched views and made the researchers have a cl...

Potsherds from a few vessels with Cardium decoration were recently found in old collections of some Neolithic sites of the Northern Black Sea area. A good samples of the valves of brackish water ostracods were discovered in the raw material in most of these vessels. This could indirectly indicate the presence of Neolithic settlements with Cardium p...
