Summary
"Ignored for many years, the archaeology of the Tripillia/Tripolye sites found in modern Ukraine and Moldova can make important contributions to a discussion of scale and settlement nucleation in prehistoric Eurasia and to the interpretation of how such massive agglomerations may have functioned. The Tripillia group of over 30 'mega-sites' are the largest settlements in 4th millennium Europe. This volume assesses the role of the Tripillia mega-sites in the debate over urban origins; and sets the mega-sites in a comparative framework of urban origins in Europe and the Aegean"--Provided by publisher.
