[edit] Site description
Dating to around 20,000 years BC, the caves located near Taforalt house the remains of numerous skeletons of Oranian and perhaps older origins[1]. The remains are distributed throughout a deep and highly stratified cave floor, which has yielded much ash and charcoal fragments along with human and animal bones and plant material.
[edit] World Heritage Status
This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on July 1, 1995 in the Cultural category.[1]
