Abstract
Results of archaeological surveys of the Stryvihor River’s basin within Sambir and Mostyska districts of Lviv region is presented at the article. During them area of approximately 180 km2 was examined and 62 archeological sites (23 settlements, 19 cemeteries (55 burial mounds) and 20 locations of archeological artifacts) were discovered. Materials from settlements can be dated back from Early Neolithic till Late Middle Ages. Settlements with materials of Roman period (13) and Early Middle Ages (18) are the most numerous. Remains of Early Medieval settlements near the villages, ancient names (ethnonyms) of which represent the most ancient Slavic topographic base (Kornychi, Lanovychi, Sudkovychi, Pyanovychi), or can be associated with certain historical ethnical groups (Yatvyags) attract special attention. Burial mounds, as a rule, occupy the peaks of the highest local hills. Some of them, located on the plain fields, are intensively ruined by plowing, some are almost completely destroyed. Only in the forest areas, better preserved burial mounds can be found. Due to their location, appearance and size, most of them are likely can be associated with the pan-European Corded Ware Culture that can be dated back to Eneolithic period or Tshinets-Komariv culture circle of Early Bronze Age. One of the cemeteries with compactly located small burial mounds (Mizhgaitsi 1), possibly, can be dated back to Early Middle Ages. Remains of the settlement and burial mounds, found in 2018, in the north-eastern part of Stryvihor River’s basin substantially complemented the archaeological map of the sites of this micro-region. In total, according to anything but complete data, more than two and a half hundred archaeological sites have been discovered on the Ukrainian part of Stryvihor River’s basin, which is not yet fully covered by surface archaeological surveys. More information about their size and belonging to certain chronological periods or cultures will be obtained after completing examination of this territory, which is scheduled to be carried out in 2019.
