Abstract:
На підставі нових методик розглянуто екологічні ніші пшеворської, зарубинецької та липицької археологічних культур на території Північно-Західної України. Відмінні характеристики їхніх природних ніш дають змогу стверджувати, що в І ст. н.е. на зазначеній території могло мирно співіснувати декілька етнокультурних утворень.
Description:
Stebliy Natalia. Environmental conditions in the settlement processes of the North-West Ukrainian region in first century BC - till middle first century AD. Ethnic history reconstructions as stated by O.O. Formozov demand two major resolution: to determine
different archaeological cultural groups according to their succession in time; to establish the correlation between specified archaeological cultures and the landscape areas. Once these objectives are accomplished they give us basis for the subsequent reconstructions of ethnic situation on particular territory.
Concerning the North-West Ukrainian region in first century BC – till middle first century AD the following archaeological cultural groups were precisely determined, namely Pszeworska, Zarubinetska and
Lipitska cultures. There exist also the possibility to march up the territories of their distribution with the natural geographic landscape areas.
Two natural landscape areas coexist on the territory of Western Volynia and here also Pszeworska and Zarubinetska cultures meet together. As the result different environmental characteristics have an effect
on these cultures. Thus, the natural surroundings of Pszeworska culture were determined by the landscape of Volynia Upland and on the contrary the Zarubinetska culture was influenced by conditions of Volynia Woodland area. Different landscapes determined extremely various environmental situations of Pszeworska and Zarubinetska cultures in first century BC–till middle first century AD.
The monuments of Pszeworska and Lipitska cultures are situated mainly in the similar geographic areas – Opillia and Roztochia. However, particular conditions in natural sub areas allow us to determine that
these cultures had also different environmental situations.
