Carmel Caves, Israel: Figure 2. Et-Tabun Cave and Garrod’s section from an alcove near the west side out to the hill slope. The position of skeleton Tabun 1 is marked by a cross in layer C immediately below layer B. For the terminology of the Paleolithic, see for example, Delson et al. (2000) or Jones et al. (1992).

ABSTRACT

Castleguard Cave is the longest currently known cavern in Canada (20 km) and the foremost example anywhere of a cavern extending underneath a modern glacier (Figure 1). It displays many striking features of interaction between glaciers and karst aquifers, a complex modern climate, rich mineralization, and a stygobitic fauna that has possibly survived one or more ice ages beneath deep ice cover in the heart of the Rocky Mountains (Ford, 1983).
