About the place
The complex is located in the southern part of Khortytsia Island, on the site of a legendary settlement from the 11th to the 14th centuries. In 1976, it was discovered by the archaeologist Oleksandr Bodyansky, a student of Dmytro Yavornytsky. The settlement occupied an area of 15 hectares.
Historical findings suggest that the settlement was founded by "brodniks", whom modern historians consider to be the predecessors of the Cossacks.
In the 13th-14th centuries, Khortytsia was under the control of the Tatars. A coin found at the settlement, belonging to Kidilbek, indicates that it existed at least until 1361.
Today, it is almost impossible to see the archaeological findings from the settlement on the complex's territory. However, Protovche is interesting not only as a historical monument but also as a unique natural reserve, a zone of absolute preservation. It is a complex of lakes, channels, bays, and islands - the remains of the endless wetlands of the Great Meadow of Zaporizhzhia.
