This book challenges the long-held belief that the first cities arose in the Fertile Crescent, highlighting the overlooked Trypillia megasites in Ukraine. These sites were larger and earlier than Mesopotamian cities and present an alternative urban development model. International authors explore the hypothesis of independent Eastern European urbanism through the Nebelivka megasite.

This Element is about some of the largest sites known in prehistoric Europe - sites so vast that they often remain undiscussed for lack of the theoretical or methodological tools required for their understanding. The authors use a relational, comparative approach to identify not only what made megasites but also what made them so special and large.
