"Archaeological excavations have placed the territory of the Lepontians in the Val d'Ossola, the Upper Valais (Binn Valley), the Sopraceneri (where their name survives in the modern name of Leventina) and the Mesolcina."

"The four tribes may have been united in a league, if we are to believe inscriptions dating from Tiberius and written explicitly by the IIII civitates. As many contemporary specialists agree, the administrative upheavals that took place under Claudius must have led to the four Valais civitates being grouped together into a single civitas Vallensium, whose inhabitants would have been granted Latin citizenship (...) Admittedly, in the absence of explicit epigraphic evidence, it cannot be ruled out that the four Valais civitates retained their own identities and chief towns, but this seems unlikely: the very name Forum Claudii Vallensium indicates that the city governed all the Vallensii, the inhabitants of the Valais." (Regula Frei-Stolba, Anne Bielman, "Les civitates des régions alpinesarchive" in Dictionnaire historique de la Suisse online, version dated October 9, 2006).
"Some historians believe that the road, lined with milestones dated 47 AD, was made suitable for chariots on this occasion. This interpretation is open to debate. Ancient topographical documents (Peutinger Table, Itinerary of Antoninus) and archaeological discoveries attest to the route, but do not allow us to identify its remains. The sections of road visible from Bourg-Saint-Pierre, reminders of medieval roads or roads built in the 19th century, which are still wrongly considered to be ancient, and the steps cut into the rock to facilitate passage, visible in the last kilometer of the ascent to the pass at three points, are not enough to validate the hypothesis of a carriageable road. (Nathalie Pichard Sardet, Grand-Saint-Bernard, col du in Dictionnaire historique de la Suisse, February 23, 2009, "col du Grand-Saint-Bernardarchive" in Dictionnaire historique de la Suisse online).
"In 563 AD, a mountain of this name collapsed on Valais territory. (...) We must therefore follow Marius d'Avenches (Chron. a. 563), for whom the mountain collapsed simultaneously onto a castrum and into Lake Geneva; its fall caused a tidal wave as far as Geneva." Justin Favrod, "Tauredunumarchive" in the Dictionnaire historique de la Suisse online.
"The oldest medieval workshops appear under the Merovingians (Geneva, Lausanne, Avenches, Saint-Maurice, Sion, Basel, Windisch)". (Daniel Schmutz, "Ateliers monétairesarchive" in the Dictionnaire historique de la Suisse online).
"In 972, Abbot Maïeul de Cluny is said to have been captured by Saracens on the bridge near [Châtelard], the origin of which remains obscure." (Werner Meyer, "Châtelardarchive" in the Dictionnaire historique de la Suisse online, version of July 14th, 2005).
"In Switzerland, the first lords to receive regalian rights were the bishops of Basel, Sion (both in 999) and Lausanne (in 1011), thanks to donations and infeodations of counties made by King Rudolf III of Burgundy"(Ernst Tremp, "Droits régaliensarchive" in the Dictionnaire historique de la Suisse online, version February 14th, 2006).
"The crossing of the pass [Grimsel] in 1211 by the troops of the Duke of Zähringen, often mentioned in early literature, is not attested by the sources: Gestinun, where the battle against the Valaisans took place according to the chronicle, is more likely to be Niedergesteln in central Valais than Obergesteln in the Goms valley."

"The latest incineration currently known (...) around 800 BC" and "We can therefore estimate that the most recent tombs under tumulus date from the life century BC." (F.

"During the Early Neolithic, the importance of cattle in the table bestiary and, by extension, in the constitution of the herd seems to be the product of an agropastoral tradition specific to a community of breeders whose material culture reveals filiations with a southern alpine facies (Isolino group) close to the cultures of Fiorano, Fagniola, Gaban, and Vho, from the second half of the Early Neolithic in northern Italy" (Hassan Sidi Maamar, Bestiaire de la table, pastoralisme et fétichisme en Valais du néolithique à nos jours in Études rurales, n° 153-154, 2000,[1] archive).
