Ipotești–Cândești culture explained

The Ipotești–Cândești culture (Romanian; Moldavian; Moldovan: Cultura Ipotești-Cândești, Ukrainian: культура Іпотешть-Киндешть) was an archaeological culture in Eastern Europe. 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] It stretched in the Lower Danube over territory in Romania and Moldova. The population of the area was mostly made up of Early Slavs.^[1] There are views that it derived from the Chernyakhov culture and represented a group of the Antes, but also mixed with Sclaveni.^[1] The houses were identical to the Slavic huts of the Prague-Korchak and Penkovka areas. The sites in Romania are known as Ipotești-Candești-Ciurel^[2] or Ipotești-Ciurel-Cândești.
