Prague-Korchak culture
Eastern European archaeological culture / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Prague-Korchak culture was an archaeological culture attributed to the Early Slavs. The other contemporary main Early Slavic culture was the Prague-Penkovka culture situated further south, with which it makes up the "Prague-type pottery" group.[1] The largest part of sites dates to the late 5th and early 6th century AD according to Late Roman iron fibulae.[2] Settlements were as a rule placed at rivers, near water sources, and were typically unfortified, with 8–20 households with courtyards.[3] Burial sites were both flat graves and barrows (kurgans), and cremation was dominant.[2]

Slavic archaeologists including M. Kazanski identified the 6th-century Prague (Prague-Korchak) culture and Sukow-Dziedzice group as Sclaveni archaeological cultures, and the Penkovka culture (Prague-Penkovka) was identified as Antes.[4][5]
