In 1896-1897 an archaeologist, Vikentii Khvoika, discovered cultural artifacts from the Neolithic era
near the village of Trypillia, on the outskirts of Kyiv, which are now known as the Trypillian Culture.
It is most notable for its proto-cities built 6000 years ago with rectangular surface dwellings, weaving,
pictographic writing system, pottery furnace, ceramic pottery, bronze items, as well as crop rotation.
