Champréveyres: pieces of amber

Champréveyres : morceaux d’ambre
5503

Small amber objects have been found at Champréveyres and Moosbühl. Some are fossil resins from the Baltic, while others are local. Chemical analysis has shown that the piece in the centre, which shows traces of being worked, is amber from the Baltic, and therefore came from northern Europe.
