Archaeologists found evidence of an ancient settlement's demise from fire and possible violence near Kosenivka, Ukraine.

Researchers studying remains from a 5,600-year-old settlement near Kosenivka, Ukraine, found evidence that people from the Neolithic Cucuteni-Trypilla culture likely died in an accidental fire. The study, published in PLOS ONE, also indicates that these ancient inhabitants had a plant-based diet and used cattle for farming and dairy, not meat. Some deaths may have involved violence, suggesting possible intergroup conflict.
