Some Suggestions
Hello! I saw an article of mine referenced here and thought that I'd weigh in... I don't want to edit personally as such self-promotion is not ethical, but I do want to offer some clarifications:

1. After revising the settlement size to ~335 ha, suggesting that the population could have been 15,000 is not tenable. 2. Same goes for the number of structures; the number 2700 was derived by V.A. Kruts based on extrapolation of the geomagnetic plan results out to 450 ha (the entire settlement has not been surveyed, as some of it lies beneath the modern village of Tal'yanki). 3. There are no structures 300 to 600 meters in length at Tal'yanki, and the author of this page offers no citation to back this claim. 4. Excavations are ongoing, and have occurred as recently as 2011.

If you wish to maintain some of the old assertions about settlement size and population, then it is very important to present them on an author-by-author basis (e.g. "Videiko contends that the settlement could have been home to 15,000 individuals"). To clarify my work, my paper states that there were approximately 2000 structures (of which 1600 were synchronously occupied) over an area of 335 ha, housing roughly 6300 to 11,000 people (with preference given to the lower end).

 * Fair point. I suppose my "quick fix" to the figure for area causes more ambiguity than it solves. I will try to write a slightly more full discussion of the size/houses/population estimate and fix the other issues you've pointed out. Having said that, citing yourself is not necessarily seen as self-promotional or a conflict of interest on Wikipedia, and you're welcome to edit to this and other articles about Cucuteni-Tripolye. joe&bull;roet&bull;c 06:56, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
