Marxen els gels, arriben els humans. Les primeres ocupacions humanes al Parc Nacional d’Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici durant el Mesolític i Neolític

Archaeological research in the National Park has documented an archaeological sequence of human presence in this area of high Pyrenean mountains that covers the entire Holocene. Its earliest phases were characterized by hunter-gatherer populations with a marked mobilitythat occupied small rock shelters as a refuge during hunting expeditions. During the early Neolithic this pattern persists although with much more episodic occupations. In this period, it appears that the higher areas continue to be exploited as hunting territories, in this case as a complement to more stable occupations of settlements at lower altitudes.
