From 1994 to 2013 by the 25 excavation trenches were investigated (I—XXII, 24, 25) at the Shankiv Yar tract and together area 6434 m2 was excavated. An analysis of the planigraphy of objects of the early-iron age allows to divide the site into three distant from each other clusters, which can be interpreted as separate homesteads. On the base of examined materials, including new, previously unpublished dates, it is possible to say, that this site belongs to the Lusatian culture and represents the Lezhnytsa horizon of the Ulvivets-Lezhnytsa group, which is synchronous with the late phases of the Tarnobrzeg group of Lusatian culture and the Scythian culture of the Ukrainian Forest-steppe. A wide range within which we can put the time of existence of the settlement — VII—V centuries BC. But all three homesteads could existed much shorter time period. Such chronology almost corresponds with those proposed earlier by D. N. Kozak and co-authors. Contrary to the earlier interpretation of the Khrinnyky site as syncretic, we consider its ceramic complex to be stylistically and technologically homogeneous.
