*****GK: Don't know if this will affect your point,
but Dolukhanov's map (p. 77) is not correct. The
Pit-comb culture never reached the Dnipro [only got as
far as Chernihiv on the Desna r.]and contacted
Trypilia very briefly, in the last phase of the
latter, ca. 3000 BC, when the TRYP Lukashivka
settlements appeared east of the river. Pit comb was
then in full retreat before Yamna pressure. Between
5000 BC and 3000 BC Pit-comb had very close contacts
with Dnipro-Donetz, and then with Serednyj Stih, none
with Trypilia (at least no evidence of such has
survived). In 5000 BC the distance between the
northwesternmost settlements of Trypilia and the
southwesternmost settlements of Pit-comb was
considerable.****
