Archaeologically symbol «sown field» refers to Tripoli culture protoslavyan (5 — 3 BC) (see Fig. 6.5.3.3.1.3.3.). Hence the symbol «sown field» spread to the southern region: in ancient times the sign is placed in the penis deer of Artemis on the Delian vase 7th century [1632, p. 194, 1633, pp. 64, 86, 97].
