Taforalt Cave, Archaeological cave in Berkane Province, Morocco
The cave entrance spans over 400 square meters and contains multiple chambers with archaeological deposits reaching depths of 10 meters.
Excavations since 1908 revealed human remains and artifacts from three distinct periods, dating from 85,000 to 10,000 years before present.
The cave contains North Africa's earliest known cemetery, with 34 Iberomaurusian skeletons and evidence of complex burial practices from 15,000 years ago.
Researchers continue active excavations at the site, uncovering new artifacts and studying ancient DNA to understand human migration patterns.
Analysis of recovered plant remains, including acorns and pine nuts, indicates inhabitants maintained seasonal food gathering strategies 23,000 years ago.
