The following article discusses the settlements of the Zarubincy culture. To date, more than 200 settlements have been discovered in the middle and upper Dnieper region. Of these, 24 sites are fortified settlements and 190 are open settlements. Approximately 34% of all sites have been excavated or examined by soundings; the remaining sites are known only through field research. Various archaeological finds were discovered in the settlements investigated through archaeological excavations: houses (surface and pit houses), fireplaces, pits, outbuildings, etc. The archaeological material found in the settlements includes clay vessels, tools, clothing accessories, weapons, coins, archaeological and archaeological materials. Regarding the origin of the Zarubincy culture, I assume that the above-mentioned cultural aspect represents a cultural syncretism between the traditions of the natives and the newly arrived – Central European – cultures. Regarding the chronology and periodization of the younger pre-Roman Iron Age and early Roman Imperial period in the middle and upper Dnieper region, I believe that the chronological boundaries of the settlements of the classical phase of the Zarubincy culture lie between the first quarter of the 2nd century BC and the beginning of the 1st century AD.
