| Abstract: | A research developed over the last 25 years in different high mountain areas of the Pyrenees has confirmed continuous human occupation of these areas over time. Of the various economic activities carried out in these areas, livestock farming is particularly notable. Thanks to extensive excavations, the daily activities that sustained and promoted the well-being of the area's inhabitants are increasingly well documented. Notably, the collection and use of fuel for households sheds light on the relationships that societies established with their environ- ment. In this diachronic, regional-scope study we have unified all available anthracological records for dwelling sites in the southern Central Pyrenees dating from the 9th millennium BCE in a single database. A total of 34 taxa have been identified, although only a few were probably used as the main fuel. Changes and continuities detected over time are related to both the altitude of the site and the historical dynamics of land use in the area. |
