The aim of my project is to investigate the food habits and mobility trends of a pivotal European zone, the Switzerland (Vaud and Valais cantons) during Bronze Age. This region, for its geographical position and archaeological background, is a key-area to understand the diffusion of new agricultural practices from Central to Southern Europe, the socio-economic systems as well as the resources management considering the beginning of the development of a productive economy. The investigation of dietary patterns and subsistence practices represents an exceptional approach to explore late-prehistoric community behaviors as several aspects are still unexplored. Stable isotopes analyses from human, faunal and botanical remains are applied.
