This volume describes the first large-scale Paleolithic survey and excavation project conducted in southwestern Syria. The work examines the prehistoric hunters and gatherers who used the resources of the existing ecotopes even in periods of climatic deterioration and who inhabited specialized hunting camps at the beginning of sedentarism, procuring resources at the outskirts of settlement areas.

Dr. Kurt Felix Hillgruber is a prehistoric archaeologist and curator at the State Museum of Archaeology Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. His scien-tific interests focus on the cultural legacies of Paleolithic and Mesolithic hunter-gatherer societies in Europe and the Levant. In addition to his work on the Neanderthals in Ger-many, he played an integral part in the Tübingen-Damascus Excavation and Survey Project in Syria, providing techno-logical-typological analyses of the uncovered lithic artifact inventories.
