Lost History: Ukrainian archaeologists have uncovered an incredible multi-layered settlement (photos).

In December 2024, during archaeological surveys, researchers from the Historical and Cultural Reserve "Belsk" discovered a multilayered settlement. This site, now known as "Tupichino," got its name from a nearby forest lake marked on historical topographic maps, writes the "Belsk" Reserve on its Facebook page.

The "Belsk" Reserve, located in the Sumy and Poltava regions, was established in May 2005. Research at the Belsk settlement has been ongoing since 1906, and in July 2016, archaeologists found the largest treasure discovered in Left Bank Ukraine, consisting of 30 gold items.

In the following years, researchers uncovered artifacts from the Scythian era, including gold items, jewelry, surviving amphorae, and pottery.

At the end of 2024, archaeologists, led by Candidate of Historical Sciences Konstantin Pelyashenko, found artifacts spanning several historical periods, particularly the Bronze Age, Early Iron Age, and Cossack era.

The late settlement period yielded the most extensive collection of findings, such as horse bridle parts, iron knives, shoe nails, a belt buckle, nails, lead bullets, and fragments of ceramic ware.

This discovery holds significant value for understanding the history of Kotelivshchyna in the late 16th to 17th centuries and earlier periods. Artifacts from this site provide crucial insights into regional history, culture, and daily life. Researchers plan to continue their work at the discovered settlement, hoping for further discoveries that could enrich knowledge about the past of this region.

This research highlights the importance of preserving archaeological heritage and its role in connecting contemporary society with its historical roots. Understanding the past can offer new perspectives on cultural development and historical events.
