International audience Pollen and sediment analyses were used to reconstruct vegetation and lake-level changes over the mid-Holocene period at Saint-Jorioz, Lake Annecy (northern French Pre-Alps). Episodes of forest clearings point to Neolithic cultural activities in the northern French Pre-Alps from c. 6500 cal. BP in agreement with other pollen and macrofossils records from eastern Switzerland and the Jura mountains. The lake-level record shows rises atc. 8300-8200, 6400, 5900 and after 5730 cal. BP. The rise at c. 8300-8200 cal. BP shows a tripartition. Lower water levels developed before 8300-8200 and 6665 cal. BP, at c. 6050 and 5730 cal. BP. Rises at c. 8300-8200, 6400, 5900 and after 5730 cal. BP can be related to the 8200-yr event and North Atlantic ice-rafted debris (IRD) events occurring at c. 6200, 5800 and 5500 cal.
