Kosenivka, in Ukraine, is the site of an ancient mega-settlement belonging to the Cucuteni–Trypillia culture dating to 3800–3600BC[1]. 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.[2] 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.[1] This finding helps to better estimate the number of inhabitants in individual settlements and the entire Cucuteni–Trypillia-culture.
