Found in burial No. 12 in the Village of Zvenyhorod. It has a pear-shaped form. The bottom is small with a protruding rim. The neck is slightly narrowed with convex rings. Inside there are charred bones cleaned of ash. The urn is gray in color.
The archaeological site in Zvenуhorod is characterized by the difficulty of determining the ethnicity of the population that lived on this territory in the last centuries BC and the first centuries AD. Tribes of the Przeworsk culture penetrate here from the northwest along the Western Bug, and later the tribes of the Lypytsya culture and the Zarubintsy (from the south). Due to the cohabitation of the bearers of these cultures and the cultural exchange, which actively took place in particular between the tribes of the Przeworsk and Lipytsya cultures, as well as essentially the same burial rite (cremation, in urns), the existence of both stucco and pottery ceramics, clearly attribute the archaeological sites as belonging to only one culture is difficult.
