context_section_description: It is home to the Les Grèves prehistoric pile-dwelling (or stilt house) settlements that are part of the Prehistoric Pile dwellings around the Alps UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  The Les Grèves site is located about 200 m (660 ft) from the present shoreline.  Some of the timbers have been dendrochronologically dated to the 33rd century and the first half of the 32nd century BC.  The site was well known locally before it was officially discovered by H. Schwab in the 1960s.  The upper layers are from a Horgen culture settlement and the lower layers might be from either a Horgan or a Cortaillod culture settlement.
