he site was predominately settled in Tripolye B1–B2 and C2. Three zones of intensive settlement activity were detected, but only small traces of platforms, remains of burnt houses, were visible in the greyscale image. This corresponds with the discovery of four scatters of burnt clay seriously disturbed during earlier excavations. To the west of the site, along the edge of the high bank of the Gniła Lipa, a left tributary of the Dniester, a line of burnt structures of uncertain date has been identified. At Kamyane a settlement dated to Tripolye B1 occupied a flat promontory on the right bank of the Southern Bug. Large parts of this hardly perceptible elevation were covered by the magnetometer survey, stretching over ca. 4 ha. Along its more gently sloping sides the settlement was delimited by two parallel ditches, spaced at approximately 8 m apart. A trial trench revealed an inner ditch measuring 2.9 m in width and 1.7 m in depth. A zone devoided of archaeological features runs parallel to the inner ditch, on its inner side. Here a rampart may be presumed. While west of the Dniester ditches have been observed on about 40 sites dating to Tripolye B1, they did not appear east of the river until now. By now, Kamyane is the easternmost fortified settlement of that period and so far the only one located east of the Dniester.
