What did Lviv region's archaeologists find on 4 January 2022?
A look back at reconnaissance excavations in western Ukraine and a record-book entry from Ternopil that opened the same year.
What did exploratory digging in the Lviv region turn up on 4 January 2022? According to reports from that day, reconnaissance excavations at a newly discovered site linked to Germanic tribes revealed two new and unique archaeological objects dating from the Roman Empire period.
The reports described the find as coming from a recently identified site, with the excavations still at the reconnaissance stage. No further details of the objects were given.
A few days earlier, on 1 January 2022, another regional story had drawn attention. A banner of Stepan Bandera, hung on the facade of the Ternopil regional council, was entered in the Ukrainian Book of Records.
Together, the two items showed the regional agenda at the start of 2022: new discoveries from the Lviv region's distant past, and a record entry in Ternopil.
