Trypillian Civilization
is an archaeological name for the Neolithic culture that existed
on the territory of present-day Ukraine. This culture is
also known as Cucuteni
on the territory of Romania. The real self-name for this culture is
not established or agreed between scientists, but some researchers
consider this culture to be the ancient Aratta.
Trypillian culture was discovered in the year 1897 near the small village of Trypillia south of Kyiv, Ukraine) by archaeologist Vikenty Khvoika. He named this new and unknown to the world culture - The Trypillian Civilization.
From that moment on, the territory of Ukraine became a homeland to one
of the most ancient civilizations - The Trypillian
Civilization, which flourished on her territory
between approximately 8,000 to 5,000 years back in
history.
Independently
this culture was discovered on the territory of Romania near village
Cucuteni by Teodor T. Burada, and in year 1889 it was presented on
conference in Paris.
For our purposes we are going to use name Trypillia-Cucuteni as
internationally recognized term for this culture. When the subject of
the article is about studies related to the Ukrainian territory only it
is accepted to use name Trypillia for short, which is also generally
accepted among Ukrainian researches.
The main purpose of this Internet site is
to educate the world about The Trypillian Civilization and to
stimulate multidisciplinary study of the origin of Trypillian people
through the collections of articles, books,
reproductions of artifacts, videos, lists of references, numerous links
and other educational material.
Welcome to the studies and the discovery of the Trypillian Civilization!
