Macroliths (from the Greek makros - large and lithos - stone) - massive stone tools. They were common in the Paleolithic era when humans and humanoids were not yet able to process and use small pieces of stone. The main disadvantage of macroliths was the extremely uneconomical use of raw materials. With the advent of modern people, macroliths disappeared, but reappeared in the Mesolithic as a massive tool for woodworking - axes.

An invaluable find in the Mezyn parking lot are strange products made of bones (also with ornaments), which are musical instruments (the first flute in the history of mankind!), Which were used to accompany dances. The so-called sonic instruments also include the "noisy" little finger bracelet, which consists of five separate open rings. These are a kind of castanets, which are so far the only evidence of the presence of dance in the Paleolithic culture of Eastern Europe.

It is a unique artifact in Ukraine. Indicates the emergence of new stone processing technologies. Bone instruments have been documented with the advent of Homo sapiens, and are also known in the context of Homo neanderthalensis or even earlier. Bones were used to make tools by virtually all hunter-gatherer societies, even when other materials were available. Any part of the skeleton could potentially be used to make the tool, but horns and long bones were some of the best working materials.

The people of Trypillia left us a legacy of many insignificant female figures. They depicted the goddesses of the natives naked and put special symbolic signs on their form. A double spiral is drawn in place of the chest of the goddesses. On the abdomen or bosom depicts a rhombus, an intersection of four lobes. One grain of bread was pressed into each cell. The chest spiral is a celestial symbol: a cloud is a lightning bolt sent to the earth by milk-family-rain. The rhombus with cereals forms a zoning and sitting field. Also the birthplace of the goddess, the fruit of her womb. The combination of both symbols means the marriage of the elements of heaven and earth.
