The oldest testimonies of human life in the lands that today make up Aragon go back to the time of the glaciations, in the [[Pleistocene]], some {{val|600000}} years ago. This population left the Acheulean industry that found its best weapons in the [[hand axe]]s of [[flint]] or the [[Cleaver (tool)|cleavers]] of [[quartzite]].

In the [[Upper Palaeolithic]] appeared two new cultures: Solutrean and Magdalenian.

The [[Epipaleolithic]] was centered in [[Lower Aragon]], occupying the epoch between the 7th and the 5th millennium.

In the first half of the 5th millennium [[Common Era|BCE]], [[Neolithic]] remains are found in the Huescan Outer Ranges and in Lower Aragon.

The [[Eneolithic]] was characterized in the [[province of Huesca]] presenting two important megalithic nuclei: the [[Pre-Pyrenees]] of the Outer Ranges and the High Pyrenean valleys.

The Late [[Bronze Age]] begins in Aragon around 1100 BCE with the arrival of the [[Urnfield culture]]. They are Indo-European people, with an alleged origin in Central Europe, who incinerate their dead by placing the ashes in a funeral urn. There are examples in the Cave del Moro of [[Olvena]], the Masada del Ratón in [[Fraga]], Palermo and the Cabezo de Monleón in [[Caspe]].

From the metallurgical point of view there seems to be a boom given the increase in foundry molds that are located in the populations.

The [[Iron Age]] is the most important, since throughout the centuries it is the true substratum of the Aragonese historical population.

The arrival of Central Europeans during the [[Bronze Age]] by [[Pyrenees]] until reaching the Lower Aragon area, supposed an important ethnic contribution that prepared the way to the invasions of Iron Age.
