Settlement site on Lake Neuchatel, Switzerland, which has given its name to a Middle Neolithic culture, which succeeded Cortaillod in north Switzerland. The characteristic pottery is coarse without decoration or with applied cordons; most vessels are bucket-shaped. Horgen pottery resembles that of the Seine-Oise-Marne group; it is found in settlement sites and also in megalithic tombs.
