===Prehistory===
In 1826 a [[Neolithic]] cemetery with about 30 graves was uncovered at Pierra-Portray.  However, the artifacts were not fully preserved and only one [[flint]] blade and a [[soapstone]] fragment still exist.  Near Pierra-Portray, along the Chemin de Chamblandes, Albert Naef examined 23 tombs from 1901 to 1910.  These tombs belonging to a similar set of tombs which were sporadically excavated and recorded between 1880 and 1993.  The local rectangular graves consisted of boxes assembled from four vertical slabs of about {{convert|1|m|ft|sp=us}} in length, with a fifth plate that served as a lid.  The dead were lying on their left side with their legs drawn up to the chest and the head pointed to the east.  The largest find of stone box graves in Pully was the cemetery at Chamblandes.  Due to the number of finds at Chamblandes, all similar [[cist]] or stone box graves in the surrounding area came to be known as Chamblandes type graves.  The cemetery of Chamblandes extends over a length of about a hundred meters (yards) and included 76 graves and over 100 skeletons.  This Middle Neolithic (4300-3900 BC) graveyard included as grave goods; [[ochre|ocher]], various commodities (polished stone ax) and jewelry (wild boar tusks, pendants made of shells, coral and [[lignite]]).  Two collars, one needle, a dagger and a bronze knife-blade hatchet are attributed to an early [[Bronze Age]] grave.  In 1992 a cremation grave was discovered that dated from the Late Bronze Age.<ref name=HDS_Pre>{{HDS|2412<!--Section 1-1-->|Prehistoric and Ancient Pully}}</ref>
