The Early Slavic period in archaeology on the territory of Ukraine is characterized by a number of key aspects that indicate the formation of Slavic communities and their culture. Early Slavic tribes settled over a large area, including the forest-steppe and steppe regions of modern Ukraine, particularly in the basins of the Dnipro, Dnister, and their tributaries.
