* The other half of the nomadic community that came into Israels territory in the last 1000 years from Saudi Arabia....
* The ones in the unrecognized settlements are center of research
* The practical goal is "can we regularize communities, making them formal without destroying the qualities"

Franz Questions:
* What are the deep differences between nomadic vs. possedile cultures?
-> careful not to give too many general assumptions about nomadicism. But: there some statements:
** Nomadic are all the time looking for living resources (water, grazing areas)
** to have them you need some territory (tribal)
** the whole relation creation between groups is to create balance between the forces, more options = more people to take care of
** the basic unit is the family
** the building of social fabric happens from bottom up (tiny units that are connected in self - organized sytems, fractal vs. hierarchy. The hierarchy might change all the time, it depends on natural and geopolitical factors.
* We can still see today the ancient patterns, still there are flexible coalitons
* land ownership structures totally reflect the social structures (fractal parcels, man only possesing, me and my brothers, village related to tribe, territory defined by coalition
* there is no individual existing. I you are alone, you can be killed and nobody ill pay the price.
* family relations confined to many invisble social division
basic set of 9 - 10 rules:
* subdivision of the land according to natural signs and structure of society
* public areas always close to the main road - private in the village
* division between public and private is a division between genders
* and more
