Abstract
Comprehensive Site Chronology and Ancient Mitochondrial DNAAnalysis from Verteba Cave – a Trypillian Culture Site of Eneolithic Ukraine
Highlights
Farming in Europe spread from western Anatolia after 7000 BC (Bellwood 2005)
The Trypillian cultural complex (TC) existed from 5400 to 2700 BC on a vast area extending from the Carpathian piedmont, east to the Dnipro River, and south to the shores of the Black Sea (Videiko 2004)
Verteba is a unique site of pre-historic human activity, which was almost continuously utilised by local Trypillian groups for nearly a millennium
Summary
Farming in Europe spread from western Anatolia after 7000 BC (Bellwood 2005). The European Neolithic initially developed in Greece, from where it expanded northward into the Balkans, and westward along the Mediterranean coast (Bellwood 2005). On the foundations laid by these and other Neolithic groups a new archaeological culture began to form in the pre-Carpathian region around 5400 BC. This culture became known as Precucuteni, and later as Cucuteni in Romania and Moldova, and Trypillia A (formally spelled “Trypolie” or “Tripolye”) followed by Trypillia B and C, in Ukraine.
