Influences of Sites of Trypillia BI – Cucuteni A4 Stages on the Establishing of Styles of Panting of Ceramic Ware of Zalischyky Group of Trypillia ВI–ВII Stages (Upper and Middle Dnister Region)

Abstract

It has been noted for a long time, that Ukrainian Trypillia sites are closely connected with Moldovan and Romanian settlements of Cucuteni-Ariușd. Tribes which were formed on the small territory of Seret River’s basin and middle reaches of Prut and Dniester Rivers migrated at the early stage to north and east. Appearance of painted ceramic ware in Sub-Dnister region as well as external influences on the formation of local groups in examined region in future are obviously associated with the expansion of Cucuteni tribes. In this context, we will search for the origins of painted ornament and trace transformation of painted tableware of transitional stage of the middle period of existence of culture (Trypillia BI-BII – Cucuteni AB). Namely, we will pay special attention to formation of Zalischyky group of Trypillia culture on the basis of earlier settlements of Trypillia BI – Cucuteni A4.
