Il volume, pubblicato dallo «Institut Française d’archéologie du proche-orient» (Beyrouth 2000), è dedicato al ricordo di Raymond Lantier, André Leroi-Gourhan, André Parrot, Henri Seyrig, Paul Veyeret, ed è curato da M. Henri de Contenson che, in collaborazione con la «Direzione Generale delle Antichità e dei Musei di Damasco» (D.G.A.M.), intraprese lo scavo sistematico di Ramad nel 1963. Da questa data sino al 1973 la continua attività di ricerca sul campo, sostenuta dall’impegno costante e partecipe dell’allora «Direttore del Servizio Scavi» Adnan Bounni e del «Conservatore del Palazzo Azem a Damasco» Chafiq Imamha, ha rivelato l’importanza del sito come una delle principali occupazioni del neolitico preceramico nella piana di Damasco. Le qualità di questo rapporto sono essenzialmente due: da un lato si presentano, con estremo rigore e metodo, i risultati sintetici di un lavoro decennale condotto da diversi specialisti; dall’altro, il contributo dei singoli converge a dettagliare ed aprire un quadro ampio di problematiche d’ordine archeologico, antropologico ed economico.
