• Economic - Symbiotic rship between sedentary peoples and nomads: weaponry, non-animal stuff, livestock, protection, plunder and nomadic role in trade which stops settlements becoming isolated.

• Economic competition – pastoralists try to use settlement run land, state punitive campaigns against nomads and seminomads. Raiding hardly friendly – mixture of both.

• Social – some tribal members in settlement – sued as city cousins when ventured into towns, and by city dwellers use nomads as way out if trouble.

• Seminomads usually end up settling in peasant or village populations retained important social ties.

• Cultic ties – similar religious developments, and going to market. Economic an cultic ties created social bonds that increased not only intimacy but also stability of relations between nomads, seminomads and settled populations
