Dobrovody

Dobrovody is a 4th millennium BC mega-settlement of the Cucuteni-Trypillian culture in Cherkasy Oblast, Ukraine. Covering approximately 250 hectares, it was one of the largest settlements on Earth between 4100 and 3600 BC. Research from 2014 suggests it may have housed up to 16,200 inhabitants, with a fortified urban layout of blocks and streets identified through aerial photography. Traces of several dozen large pottery furnaces have been discovered at the site, indicating significant craft production.
