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]}
