How does our current thinking about boundaries
prejudice our understanding of how physical and
conceptual boundaries worked in the past?
How were the boundaries of human bodies and

in the absence of substantial supporting evidence, it is not
permissible to claim that the hundreds of enclosed burial grounds
are the sites of early monasteries This leads to an alternativeproposition, namely that these sites were secular settlements of
