The culture's decline in the late 4th century coincides with invasion of Huns and subsequent westward movement of Germanic groups. Other factors may include the social crisis which occurred as a result of the collapse of the Roman world and the trade contacts it maintained with peoples beyond its borders. In the late 5th century, the Prague-Korchak culture appears in the Vistula basin.

As though a sterner eye looked through her eye
On this foul world in its decline and fall,
On gangling stocks grown great, great stocks run dry,
Ancestral pearls all pitched into a sty,
Heroic reverie mocked by clown and knave....”

Mourned by scholars who dream of the ghosts of Greek boys.”
