Ipotești–Cândești culture

It developed in the mid-6th century by the merger of elements of the Prague-Penkovka and Prague-Korchak cultures and local cultures (including Germanic and Roman) in the area between Prut and Lower Danube.

[1][2] It stretched in the Lower Danube over territory in Romania and Moldova.

[3] The population of the area was mostly made up of Early Slavs.

[2] There are views that it derived from the Chernyakhov culture and represented a group of the Antes,[3] but also mixed with Sclaveni.

[2] The houses were identical to the Slavic huts of the Prague-Korchak and Penkovka areas.

The Prague-Penkov-Kolochin group of archaeological cultures identified with early Slavic populations in the 6th and 7th centuries, and Ipotești–Cândești with local influences.
