of the village. The terraced fields, the blue skies, the bright
sunlight and the white stone houses with domes all combine to make a

Boundaries Defining the Village Built-Up Area
S4milar to most other Palestinian villages, Deir Ghassaneh never had
walls around it to define its boundaries. The boundary between man-
made space and natural space was achieved by the sharp difference in
density between the the compact built-up area and the open
surrounding fields. The fields were almost free from man-made
structures, except for the storage huts (ksour) used for guarding
against thieves during the fig and grape seasons and for storage of
agricultural produce. The hawakir, a belt of empty lots, constituted
a clear geographical boundary and a natural edge between the denesly
built man-made settlement and the partly natural, partly ordered
landscape (fig- 4-2).
