Cultura rodaniana
La cultura del Rodano o rodaniana era una cultura archeologica della prima età del bronzo (2200-1500 a.C. circa) diffusa nella Francia sud-orientale e nella Svizzera occidentale, lungo il corso del fiume Rodano[1][2]. Questa cultura si è sviluppata dalla cultura locale del vaso campaniforme, forse con ulteriori migrazioni dall'Europa centrale.[3] Secondo Sergent (1995) la cultura del Rodano rappresenta una variante meridionale della cultura di Unetice. I manufatti in metallo e la ceramica della cultura del Rodano sono particolarmente simili a quelli del gruppo di Straubing in Baviera.[4][5]
L'ascia di Thun-Renzenbühl (1800 a.C. circa), rinvenuta vicino a Thun e attribuita alla cultura del Rodano, è uno dei primi esempi di tecnica agemina nel mondo[6][7]. La decorazione intarsiata d'oro sull'ascia potrebbe avere un significato numerico o astronomico.

The fact remains that certain types of metallurgy or particular characteristics of pottery thought of as ‘Rhodanian’ spread right across eastern and central France and the Rhône corridor. This highlights the significant impact of metal production, which used metal resources from the western Alps during the late part of the Early Bronze Age.»
