Trypillia culture
The Trypillia culture, thriving around 5500–2750 BCE in what is now Ukraine and Moldova, was a Neolithic society known for large, organized settlements called complexes, some housing thousands of people. They built extensive mud-brick houses, developed early agriculture, and crafted pottery with intricate designs. Their society exhibited social complexity and trade networks. The culture is notable for its communal living, large-scale construction, and advances in farming and craftsmanship, which reflect a sophisticated community capable of large cooperative projects and cultural expression in the prehistoric Eurasian steppe.
