which has been fully described in the case of Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici
National Park, appears to be comparable in other high mountain areas where
fieldwork has also been intense and systematic.
In coming years, progress in our understanding of the human past of mountains
in general and the Pyrenees, in particular, is sure to continue advancing rapidly.
Ongoing research programmes at sites, the increase in archaeological surveying,
greater cooperation between teams of archaeologists and also the increasingly
interdisciplinary nature of the research are some of the factors that will contribute to
this progress. Underpinning it is the growing awareness that high mountain areas
have long been social spaces too. Empirical information is confirming it.
