Ocupacions humanes reiterades al llarg del temps: excavació arqueològica de l'Abric de Les Obagues de Ratera (original) (raw)

Among the 350 archaeological sites discovered in the National Park there are several rock-shelters. Those little cavities are formed by glacial erratics. Between 2015 and 2017 one of them has been completely excavated, the Abric de les Obagues de Ratera. Excavation works have highlithed a long sequence of human occupation, over about 10 ka yrs. The recurrent use of the rock-shelter as dwelling space and/or overnight shelter is a good example of the long-term continuity in the archaeological record of the National Park, despite periods of abandonment. The site allows to study in detail the shifts in patterns of occupation of the rock-shelter and the in the economic activities carried out.
