After more than 3500 years of occupation in the Neolithic and
Bronze Age, the many lake-dwellings' around the Circum-Alpine
region 'suddenly' came to an end. Throughout that period
alternating phases of occupation and abandonment illustrate how
resilient lacustrine populations were against change:
cultural/environmental factors might have forced them to relocate
temporarily, but they always returned to the lakes. So why were the
lake-dwellings finally abandoned and what exactly happened towards
the end of the Late Bronze Age that made the lake-dwellers change
their way of life so drastically? The new research presented here
draws upon the results of a four-year-long project dedicated to
shedding light on this intriguing conundrum. Placing a particular
emphasis upon the Bronze Age, a multidisciplinary team of
researchers has studied the lake-dwelling phenomenon inside out,
leaving no stones unturned, enabling identification of all possible
interactive socio-economic and environmental factors that can be
subsequently tested against each other to prove (or disprove) their
validity. By re-fitting the various pieces of the jigsaw a
plausible, but also rather unexpected, picture emerges.
