Deir Ghassaneh was defined by the boundaries of these fields. To
the great majority of villagers, these boundaries marked their entire
universe.

In general, villages were spatial clusterings of communities which
consisted of a number of different descent groups. Deir Ghassaneh,
was inhabited by seven groups of different descent; the
Barghouthis, esh-Shu'aibis, er-Rabis, Nasirs, 'Adi, Misshels and
Halabi. These seven clans constituted the village community.
Fach one of them has its own
sub-clans living in neighbouring
villages. For example, figure 3.4 illustrates the distribution of
the Barghouthi sub-clans in neighbouring villages, both within the
Bani Zaid sheikhdom and outside of it. Even though the same clan -
in this case the Barghouthi- lived in different villages, their
lands were part of the village in which they resided, and were not
consolidated as Barghouthi lands (as illustrated in the hypothetical
figure 3.5b below). In other words, the village lands belonged to
the inhabitants of the different clans in the one village (Fig.
3.5a), rather than to the same sub-clans residing in the different
villages.
