Puchau culture
The Puchau culture (also called Púchov culture ) is an Iron Age archaeological culture named after the place where it was found near Púchov -Skalka in Slovakia . The main area of distribution was northern and central Slovakia between the 2nd and 1st century BC. With influences on the surrounding regions. Some consider the bearers of this culture to be the Celtic cotini . It is more likely, however, that these are marcomannas or quadrupeds .
The Puchau culture developed out of the Suebian Lausitz culture , was later influenced by the Illyrians and with the beginning of the Christian era by the Dacians . Settlements were laid out on rolling hills near the river. The largest known religious, economic and political center of Púchov Culture is the hill fort of Havránok , which was known by the remains of human sacrifices. The Puchau culture was displaced and assimilated through the expansion of the Dacian and Germanic tribes.
