Description
The dataset contains all known Bronze Age sites in the present-day canton of Bern
(Switzerland) up to December 2023, including evidence for settlements, burials, trade/
transport, depositions and single finds. It was provided by the Archaeological Service
of the canton of Bern (ADB) in the form of an Excel data file and was supplemented
by a literature review for our research. It was then processed as a CSV data file for
the mapping of settlement dynamics using Quantum Geographic Information System
(QGIS). This was based on the 336 records that remained after data cleaning.
