I have an interesting small publication of the American Philosophical Society called "Boundaries and Frontiers in Medieval Muslim Geography".  It is perhaps unsurprising that lines on a map did not inhere in those concepts.  The writer, RW Brauer, cites the maps of al-Idrisi (of "Book of Roger" fame) and the illustrious writings of Ibn Khaldun.

Many years ago now I did some historical research for my MA on the enmity between the Inuit and Innu in nothern Labrador, attempting to link conflict to competition over resources during cyclical periods privation. The basic idea was that one only ventured into the borderland areas between the two populations of semi-nomadic hunters and gatherers when you had to because you were starving. While my committee was not entirely convinced by my argument I have remained interested in cross-borderland relations how identity, economics, politics and culture play out across them.

I'm an archaeologist working in the Northern Rio Grande region of New Mexico (USA). Material manifestations of frontier expansion are an important issue in this region as we look at time-deep socio-cultural development and ethnogenesis. I'm hoping that being a part of this group will provide a wider perspective on dynamic frontiers and borders.
