The discovery of a 2,000-year-old shipwreck in the depths of Lake Neuchâtel offers new perspectives on inland water transport during the Roman period. The vessel, located in deep freshwater, has remained largely intact, keeping both cargo and structural elements.

Recovered artefacts include wooden components, metal fittings, and items potentially related to transport or ceremonial functions, such as parts associated with a Roman chariot. The preservation of these materials is rare and provides important evidence of regional craftsmanship and supply practices.
