>Some scholars have used the abundance of these clay female fetish statues to base the theory that this culture was matriarchal in nature. Indeed, it was partially the archaeological evidence from Cucuteni–Trypillia culture that inspired Marija Gimbutas, Joseph Campbell and some latter 20th century feminists to set forth the popular theory of an Old European culture of peaceful, egalitarian (counter to a widespread misconception, "matristic" not matriarchal), goddess-centred neolithic European societies that were wiped out by patriarchal, Sky Father-worshipping, warlike, Bronze-Age Proto-Indo-European tribes that swept out of the steppes north and east of the Black Sea

The Proto-Indo-Europeans conquered and put an end to this rubbish. I dare anyone to refute me:

>Metallurgy, mining, and ceramic technology declined sharply in both volume and technical skill, and ceramics and metal objects changed markedly in style. The copper mines in the Balkans abruptly ceased production; copper-using cultures in central Europe and the Carpathians switched to Transylvanian and Hungarian ores about 4000 BCE, at the beginning of the Bodrogkeresztur culture in Hungary

>In its three largest cemeteries, Oleksandriia (39 individuals), Igren (17) and Deriivka II (14), evidence of burial in flat graves (pits at ground level) has been found. This parallels the practice of the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture and contrasts with the later Yamnaya culture, which practiced tomb burials

>Genetic analyzes of Trypillian remains from the CII period of Trypillian chronology indicate a substantial presence of the so-called steppe genetic ancestry that characterizes representatives of the Yamna cultural complex

Proto-Indo-Europeans made kurgans in the areas of the people they conquered, the abrupt presence of kurgans is not random.
