Several prehistoric settlements were found in Triesen (Liechtenstein), which is situated at the food of the Rätikon mountain ridge of the Alps. In prehistoric times, the site was at least inhabitated from the 13th to the 5th century BC, because settlements from the Bronze Age (1600 - 1400 BC and 1200 - 900 BC) and from the Iron Age (7th – 5th century BC) were discovered. All settlements were destroyed by natural disasters.
It is assumed that the general temperature was higher at this time, causing heavy rain events at the foot of the mountains. The inhabitants tried to protect the settlements by building dry walls and terraces. However, all settlements were destroyed by flood and landslides.
In 2017, the post holes and ditches of a building and stone tools were discovered nearby, indicating that the Triesen area was probably already inhabitated in the Neolithic (ca. 4000 BC).
