Geography comments: "The GLD1 cave is one of the six caves located on the southeast slope of Adrar Gueldaman (basis of coordinate), an eastern Mediterranean ridge of the western Tellian Babors"
"It is situated near the town of Akbou (Bejaia, Algeria), on the southwest side of the Soummam River"
There are a total of "five archaeological units", with "Units UA1 to UA4 related to the Neolithic culture"
The UA2 Median Carbon-14 calibrated dates range from 6393-6003 calendar years BP.

Environment
Lithology: limestone

Taphonomic context: cave

Archaeology: bone tools,ceramics,stone tools,other artifacts

Habitat comments: "The caves consist of a large karst network formed in Jurassic limestone" (Kherbouche et al. 2014)
The GLD1 cave is about 80 metres long and consists of a long dome-shaped corridor, ending at the main room, the "Grande Salle"
"The first excavations at GLD1 in the 1920s provided a large collection of artefacts: polished bone tools, fragments of pottery, some lithic tools such as polished axes, faunal bones, and a few human remains"
The findings of the new excavations initiated in 2010 "comprise lithic artifacts, grinding equipment, potsherds, ornaments, bone tools, human and faunal remains"

Methods
Life forms: carnivores,ungulates,other small mammals

Sampling methods: quarry,screenwash

Sample size: 651 specimens

Years: 2011 - 2012

Sampling comments: From Kherbouche et al. 2014. Preliminary results from excavations at Gueldaman Cave GLD1:
"The surface of the cave was divided into four sectors" (S1, S2, S3, S4)
"In 2010, we removed the disturbed sediments from S2 and S3, a volume of ∼100 m3. Only 4 m3 were water-screened through 2 mm and 4 mm mesh"
"Excavations in 2011 and 2012 concentrated mainly on two areas of 7 m2 in S2 and 1 m2 in S3"
"During these excavations, all sediments were water-screened through 1.5 mm and 4 mm mesh and subjected systematically to flotation, with collection in 250 μm mesh"
The register data below correspond to the macromammal remains recovered from Sectors S2 and S3 in Neolithic unit UA2 during the 2011–2012 excavations (as reported in Merzoug et al. 2016)
