Abstract

Recent studies in archaeological demography, which are based upon the concept of punctuated equilibrium, went far from equating certain numbers of people with types of settlement form or socio-political organization. New concepts for the development of prehistoric populations and high precision settlement plans that were recently obtained by international research teams in Ukraine, Moldova, and Romania enable reworking of the Cucuteni-Trypillia demography. This study focuses on the Western Trypillia culture (WTC) settlements in the Southern Buh and Dnipro interfluve, a region well-known for the largest Chalcolithic sites in Europe. Finally, some issues of the structural relations between economic development, socio-political organization, and population are considered. The settlements that are considered in this study correspond to six of ten analytical periods of the Volodymyrivsko-Tomashivska line and two of three phases of the Kosenivska group. Since the settlement of Kosenivka, which belongs to the first phase, was prospected by Golub, it is not possible to calculate the extrapolation coefficient the population values.
