Поселенські системи Дніпровського Лісостепового Лівобережжя другої половини VIIІ — середини VІ ст. до н. е.

Abstract

У статті проведено аналіз поселенських систем Дніпровського лісостепового Лівобережжя жаботинського періоду та ранньоскіфського часу.

Dnieper Left-Bank Forest-Steppe region in the Early Iron Age was inhabited in several stages. For the first time, the agricultural population appears in the Zhabotyn period. Settlements that emerged at this time would become the centres of some settlement structures in the Early Scythian period. There are no burial sites of the settled population of Pre-Scythian times in the basin of Vorskla and Psel rivers. The few burials of nomads of Pre-Scythian time are synchronous to this group of settlements with ashhills. These assemblages, except Butenky, have no signs of militarization of the population of the Post-Zrubna culture, which have left in the Forest- Steppe. It’s likely that these two groups of populations coexisted peacefully, occupying separate ecological niches.
