Discovering Ancient Life

by David Kertai

Researchers at the University of Barcelona in Spain have created an open archaeological dataset documenting 10,000 years of human activity in the high Pyrenees. The database compiles 124 radiocarbon-dated archaeological samples from 45 sites, revealing how people repeatedly occupied alpine valleys after the last Ice Age. The dataset challenges long-held assumptions that these high-mountain landscapes were inhabited only briefly or seasonally.
