Exhibition Volume: Néolithique. Les villages de Chalain et Clairvaux, patrimoine de l’humanité
The book „Neolithic. The World Heritage villages of Chalain and Clairvaux” documents the current exhibition of the same title, at the Museum of Lons-le-Saunier (Jura, France).
The state of preservation at both pile dwelling sites is exceptional. In recognition of their international cultural value and the necessity of their preservation, they were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List of 2011, as part of the “Prehistoric Pile Dwellings around the Alps”. Both the book and the exhibition focus on the advancement and the quality of research that has taken place over the last fifty years.
The book is illustrated with over a hundred color images and is written for the general public.
