About
Myriv, a significant archaeological site, was a major Scythian settlement located between the Dniester and Dnieper rivers in Ukraine. Founded between 800-750 BCE during the Early Iron Age, it stands as the largest Scythian site in Ukraine, covering over 100 hectares. The settlement was fortified with a moat and a substantial rampart, indicative of its importance and need for defense. Archaeological studies connect Myriv to the Chernoles culture. Following its Scythian phase, Myriv became a Ruthenian settlement within Kyivan Rus from the 10th to the 13th centuries CE. The city was destroyed in the Mongol invasion of the 13th century but was later rebuilt in a different location, known today as Nemyriv.
