Fedorivka, Ukraine (in the present-day Dobrovelychkivka Raion), is the site of an ancient mega-settlement dating to 4100 BC belonging to the Cucuteni-Trypillian culture. The settlement was very large for that time, covering an area of 50–100 hectares (120–250 acres) and an estimated population of 6700.[1]
This proto-city is just one of 2440 Cucuteni-Trypillia settlements discovered so far in Moldova and Ukraine. Some 194 (8%) of these settlements had an area of more than 10 hectares between 5000–2700 BC and more than 29 settlements had an area in the range 100–450 hectares.[2]
