Imagine a long, long time ago, there were people who lived in a place called the Cucuteni-Trypillian culture. They lived in an area that is now part of Europe. These people were special because they were some of the first people to live in one place for a really long time. This is called a settlement.
The Cucuteni-Trypillian people were very good at making things from clay. They made pots and bowls and all sorts of things. They were also very good farmers. They grew crops like wheat, barley, and peas. They had animals like cows and sheep too!
One of the cool things about the Cucuteni-Trypillian culture is that they made really beautiful things that we can still see today. They made art out of clay and sometimes even painted their pottery with pretty designs. They also made little statues and figurines.
Sadly, we don't know too much about how these people lived their lives or what happened to them. But we can still admire their art and clay work today!
