Switzerland has an extraordinarily rich archaeological heritage from the Neolithic and the Bronze Age, dating back nearly 7000 years. Since the mid-19th century, the first pile dwellings were discovered in the lakes of the Central Plateau. Since 2011 these sites are part of the UNESCO world heritage „Prehistoric pile-dwellings around the Alps“. Not only lakes, but also Swiss mountains preserve extraordinary archaeological remains: from an alpine pass in the Bernese Alps prehistoric objects are melting out from the ice. Perfect preservation conditions and modern archaeological methods allow exploring the development of early agrarian societies in this part of the world. We can reconstruct their settlements and follow their exchange with other communities. Archaeology under water and in alpine environments allows fascinating insights into the beginnings of our history.

The archaeological evidence from Late Bronze Age Nuzi has ever since the publication of R.F.S. Starr’s final report in 1939 experienced few attention, leaving the interpretation of the inner structure of this extraordinarily extensively excavated settlement to a thriving philological research. This paper presents a macroscopic spatial analysis of mobile inventories in the domestic areas. Based on the comparison with stationary installations and the formal architectural structure a revised socio-topography is proposed. The combination with the evidence from the investigations of the private archives elucidates the great potential for the consideration of multiple approaches in the future research on the function, meaning and sociology of spaces in Near Eastern Archaeology.

Die prähistorischen Epochen lassen sich praktisch nur über materielle Hinterlassenschaften rekonstruieren. Nur in den letzten Jahrhunderten vor der Zeitenwende tauchen auch schriftliche Zeugnisse auf. Im Kurzreferat wird aufgezeigt, welche Formen von Mobilität und Migration mit archäologischen Methoden nachweisbar sind und welches Bild wir uns heute machen können. Der Bogen spannt sich von der Neolithisierung Europas bis zu historisch überlieferten Migrationen helvetischer Gruppen.

Je mehr Gletscher zum Beispiel in den Alpen schmelzen, desto mehr Fundstücke kommen ans Licht. Charlotte Grieser im Gespräch mit Albert Hafner, Professor für prähistorische Archäologie an der Universität Bern.
