"The coins were resting in clayey soil but the earth between them was of slightly darker colour. The coins and the ring were collected from an area of approximately 1 sqm, from a depth of ca. 0.15–0.40 m. No traces of a possible container were found."

Site comment

"A Chernyakhiv culture site closest to the findspot indicated by the finder of the hoard would be one found about 4 km away, but in scholarly literature, there is also a reference to a Chernyakhiv culture settlement identified on the grounds of the village of Skypche itself."
