The continuous edge of each block was penetrated on the ground level
by entry gates leading to the courtyards of the compounds. Figure
4.13 shows a number of gates which lead to the Barhgouthi dwellings.
The highly ornate and majestic gates not only expressed the status of
the Barghouthis, but also designated an important transitional point
from the outside communal world to the private world behind. In most
cases, there was only one entry way to each compound. However the
three compounds which constituted the northwestern block had in
addition to their main entry gates, back doors located on the north
side (Fig. 4-14). These doors were used mostly by women to avoid
being seen by men gathering in the village saha.
Altogether, the lofty location, the verticality, the empty lots of
land, the alleys, the backs of buildings, the hardly penetrated
walls, the controlled access to the harah and to the individual
compounds, and the control of through traffic, created a private
world which was toa great extent isolated from the rest of the
village.
