Siedlungen der Zarubincy-Kultur. Einige Bemerkungen zur Besiedlung des Mitteldnjepr-, Oberdnjepr- und Polesien Gebiets während der jüngeren vorrömischen Eisenund frühen Römischen Kaiserzeit
Settlements of the Zarubincy culture. Some remarks on the settlement of the Middle Dnieper, Upper Dnieper, and Polesia regions during the younger pre-Roman Iron Age and early Roman Imperial periods

Summary/Abstract: The following article discusses the settlements of the Zarubincy culture. To date, more than 200 settlements have been discovered in the middle and upper Dnieper region. Of these, 24 sites are fortified settlements and 190 are open settlements. Approximately 34% of all sites have been excavated or examined by soundings; the rest are known only through fieldwork. Various archaeological finds have been discovered in the settlements examined through archaeological excavations, including houses (both surface and pit houses), fireplaces, pits, and outbuildings. The archaeological material found in the settlements includes clay vessels, tools, clothing accessories, weapons, coins, as well as archaeozoological and archaeobotanical remains. Regarding the origin of the Zarubincy culture, I assume that the above-mentioned cultural aspect represents a cultural syncretism between the traditions of the natives and those of the newly arrived Central Europeans. Regarding the chronology and periodisation of the younger pre-Roman Iron Age and early Roman Imperial period in the middle and upper Dnieper region, I believe that the chronological boundaries of the settlements of the classical phase of the Zarubincy culture lie between the first quarter of the 2nd century BC and the beginning of the 1st century AD.
