Abstract: New materials from Trypillia settlement of Tymkiv in Middle Dnister region is published at the article. Unfortunately, it was robbed by illegal diggers. According to preserved materials, it was found that the site is multilayered; also contacts between local groups of Trypillia culture are noticeable. The earliest layer of the site is presented by small collection of finds and belongs to the final of stage BI. We can find many analogies for it among ceramics from other settlements of this period. Ceramic complex of layer II of this settlement is dated back to stage BII. Its stylistics has features of the synthesis of traditions of paintings of two local groups of Trypillia culture of that time. Such ornamental schemes, as horizontal S-shaped arches, large vertical ovals connected by thin lines, elements of “facial” paintings on the great rims of craters are typical for ornamentation of ceramic ware of Mereshivka group. Vertical white and black parallel lines and stripes placed over ornamentation or simply on the surface of goblets represent bright influences of Shypyntsi traditions of paintings of ceramic ware from Tymkiv. The third layer belongs to settlement of the Petren group of stage CI. Among fragments of ceramic ware from third layer of Tymkiv there are ones, which represent influences or “imports” according to their ornaments or forms. In particular, some stylistic and morphological features have analogies among tableware (and its ornaments) of Bădragii local group of Trypillia culture, the closest settlements of which are located not far from there, in the eastern part of modern Chernivtsi region. Key words: Eneolithic, Trypillia, ceramic ware, ornamentation, stage BI, Mereshivka group, Shypyntsi group, Petren group.
