Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have created an open database with 124 carbon-14-dated samples that have made it possible to construct the chronological sequence of 380 sites located in the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park. The evidence confirms continuous human occupation for several thousand years at sites found at more than 2,000 meters (6,562 feet).
