Archaeological site
The Mezhyrich settlement is one of the four sites discovered in Europe by primitive people of the Late Paleolithic era.
Discovered in 1965 by a local resident who was digging a cellar. Archaeologists found four well-preserved dwellings made of mammoth bone tusks. Inside each was a hearth, kitchen appliances. Many stone and bone tools and even musical instruments were found. One of them was reconstructed and exhibited in the Paleontological Museum in Kyiv.
The American Museum of Natural History in New York has equipped a panorama of the Mezhyrich settlement lot of ancient hunters. The remains of another dwelling were left in place and protected by a metal structure.
