Inter-relationship between a city
and its circumferential communities can be described from different
perspective.
Here is a chart of the chronology of these four different
sites. Archaeology hitherto never tried to understand in detail
the relationship between a city and its circumferential small
sites.
We research them as one system in a unified manner.
Therefore, from the comparison between the site B and its circumferential
small village, we can trace the activities, such as the process
of the farmers having been incorporated into the city, or the
process of their having been separated from city and having
formed a different settlement, or the process which they were
re-incorporated into the city again. The same argument can
be made for the site C.
We can also trace the process of a certain nomadic tribe
in a small camp who joined a city, then left there, and finally
formed another camp. This research aims at making a glivelyh
chronological chart with the garrows,h like those in this
chart. In other words, it aims at clarifying the historical
and structural characters of the Middle Eastern cities through
the key-concept gtribalismh.
