"La d\u00E9couverte des villages littoraux suisses, d\u00E8s 1854, a men\u00E9 \u00E0 la constitution de tr\u00E8s riches collections d\u2019objets arch\u00E9ologiques, r\u00E9parties entre les diff\u00E9rents mus\u00E9es suisses et \u00E9trangers et des collections priv\u00E9es. Parmi les mobiliers de l\u2019\u00E2ge du Bronze, ce sont les pi\u00E8ces m\u00E9talliques qui sont les plus embl\u00E9matiques du \u00AB Sonderfall \u00BB suisse. En effet, les milliers d\u2019objets en bronze appartenant \u00E0 la fin du Bronze final (Hallstatt B), entre la deuxi\u00E8me moiti\u00E9 du XIe si\u00E8cle et le IXe si\u00E8cle av. J.-C., ont interpell\u00E9 les premiers chercheurs et ont donn\u00E9 lieu \u00E0 des interpr\u00E9tations diverses. La reprise des fouilles arch\u00E9ologiques dans la frange littorale du lac de Neuch\u00E2tel dans la deuxi\u00E8me moiti\u00E9 du XXe si\u00E8cle a remis en lumi\u00E8re ces anciennes collections et a relanc\u00E9 l\u2019int\u00E9r\u00EAt de leur \u00E9tude, malgr\u00E9 la pauvret\u00E9 des donn\u00E9es contextuelles qui les caract\u00E9risent. Les interpr\u00E9tations du XIXe si\u00E8cle comme pertes, oublis ou d\u00E9chets li\u00E9s \u00E0 l\u2019habitat ne sont plus satisfaisantes et la recherche moderne tend \u00E0 expliquer la pr\u00E9sence des bronzes des palafittes par des immersions volontaires d\u2019objets. Le pr\u00E9sent travail s\u2019inscrit dans la lign\u00E9e de cette r\u00E9interpr\u00E9tation des bronzes des palafittes.Notre recherche se fond sur l\u2019\u00E9tude d\u2019un \u00E9chantillon repr\u00E9sentatif d\u2019objets en bronze, constitu\u00E9 de dix collections arch\u00E9ologiques r\u00E9parties sur les rives du L\u00E9man et des Trois-Lacs (Neuch\u00E2tel, Bienne, Morat), qui totalise plus de 17000 objets. Trois ensembles proviennent de fouilles modernes (Auvernier NE Nord, Cortaillod NE Est et Hauterive NE Champr\u00E9veyres), ce qui a permis de d\u00E9finir un cadre pour l\u2019\u00E9tude des sept autres collections, constitu\u00E9es au XIXe si\u00E8cle par des ramassages (Auvernier NE, Chens-sur-L\u00E9man (Haute-Savoie) Tougues, Gen\u00E8ve GE Eaux-Vives, Grandson VD Corcelettes-Les Violes, M\u00F6rigen BE Bronzestation, Morges VD Grande-Cit\u00E9, Muntelier FR Steinberg). Les objectifs \u00E9taient, d\u2019une part, de caract\u00E9riser les collections dans le temps et l\u2019espace et, d\u2019autre part, de proposer une interpr\u00E9tation de ce ph\u00E9nom\u00E8ne, en \u00E9largissant les investigations \u00E0 d\u2019autres cat\u00E9gories de d\u00E9couvertes arch\u00E9ologiques, comme les d\u00E9p\u00F4ts terrestres et les trouvailles fluviales.

Les collections ont ainsi \u00E9t\u00E9 trait\u00E9es globalement, en opposant la r\u00E9gion l\u00E9manique \u00E0 celle des Trois-Lacs, puis individuellement. De m\u00EAme, les groupements d\u2019objets identifi\u00E9s \u00E0 la fouille ou d\u2019apr\u00E8s la documentation ancienne ont \u00E9t\u00E9 \u00E9tudi\u00E9s s\u00E9par\u00E9ment, ce qui a permis d\u2019atteindre un niveau d\u2019analyse plus fin. Les collections ont aussi \u00E9t\u00E9 scind\u00E9es dans le temps, puisque les quelques centaines d\u2019objets du Bronze ancien, du Bronze moyen et du d\u00E9but du Bronze final, qui sont r\u00E9guli\u00E8rement pr\u00E9sents dans nos collections de la fin du Bronze final, ont \u00E9t\u00E9 \u00E9tudi\u00E9s s\u00E9par\u00E9ment des ensembles du Hallstatt B.

"Since 1854, the discoveries of pile dwellings in Switzerland have generated very rich collections of archaeological artifacts, currently distributed across various Swiss and European museums and in a few private collections. Among the objects from the Bronze Age, the metal artifacts are emblematic of the Swiss \u201CSonderfall\u201D. Indeed, thousands of bronze objects dating between the second half of the 11th and 9th century B.C. (end of the Late Bronze Age, or Hallstatt B), challenged the first archaeologists and gave birth to various interpretations. The resuming of the archaeological excavations on the shores of Lake Neuch\u00E2tel in the second half of the 20th century renewed an interest in the study of older collections, in spite of the scarcity of relevant contextual data. Interpretations from the 19th century, portraying palafittic bronze artifacts as uniquely consisting of lost objects or domestic litter, can no longer be accepted. Later schools of thought, including our own research, explain the immersion of palafittic bronze objects as a result of voluntary acts.Our research is based on the study of a representative sample of bronze objects, consisting of ten archaeological collections coming from Lake Geneva and the Three-Lakes (Neuch\u00E2tel, Bienne, Morat). This sample contains more than 17000 objects. Three collections come from recent excavations (Auvernier NE Nord, Cortaillod NE Est, Hauterive NE Champr\u00E9veyres), and have constituted a framework for the study of the older collections, which were assembled during the 19th century (Auvernier NE, Chens-sur-L\u00E9man (Haute-Savoie) Tougues, Gen\u00E8ve GE Eaux-Vives, Grandson VD Corcelettes-Les Violes, M\u00F6rigen BE Bronzestation, Morges VD Grande-Cit\u00E9, Muntelier FR Steinberg).Our objectives were, firstly, to describe the collections within time and space and, secondly, to propose an interpretation of the object immersion phenomenon, by extending the investigations to other categories of archaeological sites, such as deposits and river finds. The heterogeneity of our sample required the implementation of a specific methodology, based on various levels of analysis. The methodology contrasts the collections of Lake Geneva to those of the Three-Lakes area, followed by the study of each collection separately. In order to reach an even more accurate level of analysis, large concentrations of objects (discovered during recent excavations or mentioned in documents from the 19th century) found in these sites were also examined. The collections were also segregated based on their dating. A few hundred objects from the Early, Middle and beginning of the Late Bronze Age are recurrently present in our collections, and were studied separately from those dating from Hallstatt B. On one hand, the analysis of the collections was based on the amount of artifacts, and on the other, their weight. In order to streamline our data, we defined a method of weight estimation.Our research of these sample objects has produced a set of time- and space-related patterns. These observations have led us to the conclusion that the majority of the studied palafittic bronzes were immersed intentionally, and did not consist uniquely of lost or forgotten domestic" . . .
