Wetzikon-Robenhausen, Archaeological excavation site in Wetzikon, Switzerland
The Wetzikon-Robenhausen settlement extends across 10 hectares along Pfäffikersee lake, containing preserved wooden structures from prehistoric periods.
Jakob Messikommer's excavations between 1856 and 1858 revealed Neolithic settlements with artifacts including longbows, stone hatchets, and ceramics.
The archaeological findings demonstrate advanced textile production methods through discovered fabric remnants and parts of a Neolithic loom.
The protected status of this UNESCO World Heritage site requires visitors to obtain proper authorization before accessing the archaeological areas.
The site contains preserved organic materials that provide direct evidence of butter production and food storage methods from Neolithic communities.
