Archaeologists have uncovered an exceptionally well-preserved dwelling in that remained sealed for approximately 16,800 years due to a natural rockfall at the ~~Garma cave, preserved by~~ end of the last glaciation. This site has yielded over 4,600 artifacts, including roughly 600 flint tools, needles, projectile points, and a ~~prehistoric landslide.~~ precursor to the harpoon, alongside biological remains from deer, horses, and bison. The dwelling is described as a small, oval-shaped structure of about five square meters where inhabitants used limestone blocks and stalagmites to secure a framework of sticks and skins against a rock ledge. A central hearth was also identified at the site. Further findings include the ruins of the Bargota monastery in Navarra, a site linked to the Order of Saint John and the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. Additionally, excavations in Mallorca at the Son Mas des Potecari site have identified a 3,000-year-old stone ring surrounding a Talayotic period tumulus, with evidence of subsequent occupation during the Andalusi era.
