Wikipedia: Trypillia is a village in the Obukhiv Raion (district) of the Kiev Oblast, Ukraine with 2,800 inhabitants (as of 1 January 2005). It lies about 40 km south from Kiev on the Dnieper River. The extensive Neolithic ancient ruin located near Trypillia was the location of the initial Ukrainian discovery by the Czech archeologist Vicentiy Khvoika of the Cucuteni-Trypillian culture that existed between 5400-2700 BCE, which covered an area of 35,000 km2 (13,500 square miles), and encompassed present-day southern Ukraine, Moldova, and Romania.
