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.
