Your ancestral selo/village Lashkivka (Лашківка ) was founded in appx the 16th century on the banks of the Sovytsia River. Archeological digs indicate that the original settlers here were of the ancient Trypillian culture. The Trypillian Civilization*** dates back to 5,500 B.C.- 3,000 B.C. Just to help w/time frame, these dates are pre-Pharoah/ pre-Dynastic Egyptian Period. Today the village still exists with a population of 1,322 people.

***Following is excerpt from Gallery that produces Trypillian type Pottery . I just thought this was a gd short description. You can google Trypillian for more info. There is a lot of it available.

Trypillian culture derives its name from the village of Trypillia in Ukraine where artifacts of this ancient civilization were first discovered. Archeological excavations show that as early as 5,000 B.C. these ancient agrarians settled in the forest steppes in areas of the upper Dniester river on the west with later settlements found up to the middle Dnipro on the East.

Trypillian society was matriarchal, with women heading the household, doing agricultural work, and manufacturing pottery, textiles and clothing. Hunting, keeping domestic animals and making tools were the responsibilities of the men.

It is little wonder then, that the primary deity of this ancient population was female. The Trypillian culture developed a rich symbolic system based on their religious beliefs of the Great Goddess as the powerful giver and regenerator of life and the wielder of death.

Trypillian pottery contains elaborate symbolic forms with highly stylized pictures and patterns reflecting concepts of nature, life and the spiritual world. The tri-color designs of white, red and black are comprised of lines, spirals, crosshatched patterns, egg-shaped motifs and other symbols reflecting their ancient beliefs.
