In the temporarily seized city of Mariupol, the Russian invaders destroyed the “Kalmius Settlement” archeological site, the Mariupol City Council reported.
"Invaders are doing their best in order to erase any reminders about Ukrainian history of Mariupol. Now they destroyed the “Kalmius Settlement” archeological site. Russian barbarian, who once bombed the city, continue to erase historical, cultural and archeological sites off the city’s map. They’ve come here to destroy the history of other nations and enforce their own – the typical “Russian World” approach”, the report reads.
“Kalmius Settlement” archeological site is a multi-layered settlement located on the right bank of Kalmius River. The settlement was discovered in 2010. Excavations were arranged by Archeological Expedition of Mariupol Regional Natural History Museum led by V.B. Horbov with participation of volunteers in 2010 – 2012, 2014, 2015. The researchers discovered a Neolithic settlement on an area of 257 square meters potentially connected with the world-famous archaeological monument "Mariupol Neolithic Cemetery" of the 5th millennium BC: the remains of an adobe house from the period of the Khazar Khaganate and the premises of the Cossack period, as well as city cobblestones.
