-------------------------------
Chernivtsi (Ukrainian:Romanian: Cern?u?i; German: Czernowitz or Tschernowitz; Polish: Czerniowce; Hungarian: Csernovic; Yiddish: Tshernovits; Russian: ?????????, Chernovtsy) is a city in Northern Bukovina, Ukraine, capital of the Chernivtsi Oblast.
Archeological data prove that the Chernivtsi area was populated from neolithic times. Settlements of Trypillian culture and artifacts from Corded Ware culture, later Bronze and Iron ages are numerous in the city and surroundings. Cultural layer belonging to early Slavic tribes in Chernivtsi dates to 2nd - 5th centuries, settlements of Chroatian tribes and Tiverians from 9th - 11th centuries are present.
A fortified settlement at the place of today's Chernivtsi (at the left shore of Prut river) existed already at the times of Principality of Halych and is thought to be built by prince Yaroslav Osmomysl (ruled 1153-1187). Legendary accounts call this fortress-city "Chern'", or "Black city", and is said to owe its name to the black colour of oak wood layered with the chernozem that were used for the city walls.
