Maidanetske (Ukrainian: Майданецьке) is a village located within the Zvenyhorodka Raion (district) of the Cherkasy Oblast (province), about 235 kilometers (146 mi) driving distance south of Kyiv.
A local museum was built in the 1990s that focuses on the ancient history of this place, including a panoramic reconstructed model of a large Cucuteni-Trypillian settlement located here in prehistoric times, as well as some of the artifacts uncovered from around the village.
[6] The second, much larger Cucuteni-Trypillian settlement is located on the left bank of the Tal'ianki River, west of Maidanets, which was inhabited around 3700–3600 BC.
Two Yamnaya culture tumuli (burial mounds) are located near the village, containing eight graves dating back to the middle of the third millennium BC.
Also, in the nearby Geliv Stav location, are the remains of a small settlement dating to the fourth century AD of the Chernyakhov culture.
