The site of Guenfouda, located 30 km South of Oujda in the Jebel Metsila, which forms part of the Monts d’Oujda, was discovered in 2003. The site is of significant archaeological importance and systematic excavations have been undertaken annually since 2004. The upper levels of the cave deposits, dated to the Holocene, have yielded a very rich and well-preserved faunal assemblage comprising several taxa from the Mediterranean area, particularly within the sub-humid, semi-arid and arid bioclimatic stages. The most important feature of the faunal assemblage is that it includes species recognisable for the first time as fossils in Morocco. The associated lithic industry is of good quality and includes cores, flakes and various tools. The ceramic remains are very abundant, and some of these probably attest to occupation in the ancient Neolithic.
