Ukrainian Archaeology

Ukrainian archaeology studies the ancient cultures and civilizations that have existed in Ukraine, tracing back to prehistoric times. This field encompasses the exploration of burial mounds, ancient settlements, and artifacts that reveal the lives of past societies, including the Scythians and Kyivan Rus. Significant sites like the Scythian tombs and the historic city of Chersonesus reflect Ukraine’s rich heritage.
