Genomic and isotopic research demonstrates non-linear genetic turnover and technological shifts between the Copper and Iron Ages of the GHP, which influenced the dietary strategies of numerous cultures that intermixed and overlapped through time. The Great Hungarian Plain (GHP) served as a geographic funnel for population mobility throughout prehistory.
Probably specialised, these craftsmen/women were thus one of the factors active in the diffusion of the Bell Beaker phenomenon. These results point towards a mobility of Bell Beaker potters, who exploited local raw materials but applied their own know-how. The analyses, both macro- and microscopic, carried out on the Bell Beaker pottery, led to the identification of an exogenous pottery tradition and of local raw material procurement sources. This multidisciplinary research focuses on pottery manufacturing processes through the chaîne opératoire approach, reconstructing each step from the raw material selection all the way to finishing treatments and firing. BC), offering ideal conditions to address the issues stated above. BC), and the Early Bronze Age (2200–1600 cal. BC), the Bell Beaker period (2450–2200 cal. Prehistoric populations repeatedly came to this megalithic site during the Final Neolithic (2900–2450 cal. As a case study, the authors use the Upper Rhône valley in southwestern Switzerland and focus specifically on the renowned Sion ‘Petit-Chasseur’ necropolis. The aim of this paper is to explore the integration of the Bell Beaker phenomenon in a local context, in order to examine the mechanisms underlying its introduction and discuss possible factors related to it.
