Editing Fribourg (section)

===Prehistory===
The region around Fribourg has been settled since the [[Neolithic]] period, although few remains have been found. These include some flint tools found near Bourguillon, as well as a stone hatchet and bronze tools. A river crossing was located in the area during the [[Roman Empire|Roman]] Era. The main activity in the Swiss plateau went through the area to the north, however, and was instead centered around the valley of the river [[Broye]] and [[Aventicum]]. Therefore, only a few remains from the Roman era have been found in Fribourg. These include the traces of a wall foundation on the plains near Pérolles.<ref name=HDS/>
