Résumé

Alpine Archaeology Pile dwellings Bronze Age Archaeobotany archaeology
This study investigates archaeobotanical remains from three UNESCO-listed prehistoric pile-dwelling sites (Les Mongets, Grésine, and Châtillon) located on the shores of Lakes Annecy and Bourget in the French Alps. While Alpine lake settlements have played a key role in reconstructing prehistoric plant economies, French sites remain comparatively understudied. Preliminary analyses of plant macro-remains dating from the Early to Late Bronze Age provide new evidence on crop cultivation, subsistence strategies, and the exploitation of wild plant resources. These results contribute to a better understanding of agricultural diversity and food practices among Alpine communities during the Bronze Age.
