Kosenivka, in Ukraine, is the site of an ancient mega-settlement belonging to the Cucuteni–Trypillia culture dating to 3800–3600BC. The settlement was very large, covering an area of 80 hectares (200 acres). This proto-city is just one of 2,440 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 of 100 to 450 hectares. This site has gained importance as the remains of seven individuals were found in a burnt house. Probably, the individuals belong to the house and maybe, it was a family. This finding helps to better estimate the number of inhabitants in individual settlements and the entire Cucuteni–Trypillia-culture.
