Rescue excavations at the settlement of Sharyn 3 started in 2002 were continued in 2003. The excavated remains of the Tripolye house (so-called ploshchadka) are represented by compact clusters of burnt daub and pottery. It measures 20 × 8 m. Preservation of the remains made possible the identification of interiors – an oven that was located approximately in the middle of the house. Materials – a grinding stone, spindles and broken vessels – that were clustered near the burnt daub may indicate the way the two-storeyed house was destroyed. A deposit of blades made of imported Volhynia flint was found in a small pit near the southern edge of the house.
Other objects are represented by six rubbish-pits with to numerous sherds and parts of broken figurines. Most probably, two of these pits were initially used for extraction of clay for building purposes (pits 3 and 4).
The finds are represented by table and cooking wares, clay figurines and tools made of flint, bone and horn. Table wares, mainly semi-spherical and conical bowls and amphorae with monochromic black painted ornamentation are rare. Cooking wares – predominantly pots and bowls – dominate. The ceramic complex is typical for the Kocherzhyntsi-Shulgivka type dated to the beginning of Tripolye C II (Ryzhov 2003). Archaeozoological collection includes bones cattle, sheep and goat, pigs, horses, as well as wild fauna – fox, hare etc (Zhuravlev 2008).
Objects of the Late Bronze Age Bilogrudivska culture are represented by nine bell-shaped pits. The majority of the finds is represented by sherds of table and cooking wares.
Features of the Scythian period were not found. However, materials typical for this time, mainly represented by sherds of cooking wares, were found in the occupation layer of the site. Most probably, the Scythian period layer of this site may be interpreted as seasonal occupation.
