Multidisciplinary Research on the Sabatinìvka 1 Site: History and State of Art

Abstract

The article examines the history and results of research at the site of Sabatinìvka 1, which comprises two cultural layers: the Cucuteni-Trypillia complex and the Late Bronze Age layer. The site has been investigated through a long-term, multidisciplinary collaboration involving radiocarbon AMS dating, as well as paleopedological analyses. Archival materials from the Odesa Archaeological Museum and the Institute of Archaeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine have been revisited and systematized. The paper summarizes the results of excavations conducted in 1938–1939, 1947–1949, and 2011–2018, which revealed architectural remains and buried features associated with both cultural layers. In addition, new AMS dates are presented, refining the chronology of the Cucuteni-Trypillia and Late Bronze Age occupations at the site.
