CONCLUSION

 

 

This analysis begin with an in-depth study of more than three and a half tons of potsherds recovered on the archaeological site of Saint-Blaise/Bains des Dames (Canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland). The site, excavated between 1986 and 1988 on the right-of-way of the A5 motorway, contained remnants of a number of villages that succeeded each other in the same location during the Final Neolithic. The general framework of this study is built on the cultural complexes to which the finds belong, namely the Horgen, Lüscherz, and Auvernier-Corded Ware cultures. The intricate stratigraphy that resulted posed challenging problems to the various specialists.
