The newest research (2014) indicates that Dobrovody could have contained up to 16,200 citizens,[1] and was one of the largest cities in the world in its day. The total area is about 2.5 km2. Using aerial photography, a fortified city with blocks and streets can be seen. The excavated dwellings had a standard size of 12 × 5 m with a typical interior for the buildings of the Tomaszów group: a stove, a long bench-podium under the wall, a round altar, pithos. At the angle of one of the inhabitants found a ritual burial of a bull's skull. The main category of finds are fragments of pottery collected on the surface and from excavations. Dominated by tableware painted with dark brown paint on orange engobe. A fragment of a housing model with a stove similar to the well-known Sushkiv housing model was found.[2]
