Rozsokhuvatka, Ukraine, is the site of an ancient mega-settlement dating to 3600 3200 BC belonging to the Cucuteni-Trypillian culture. The settlement was very large for the time, covering an area of 100 hectares (250 acres). This proto-city is just one of 2440 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 100–450 hectares.^[1]
