In between these two categories of areas of attraction or *perennial nuclear regions* and the areas of isolation or *culs de sac*, we have what may be called areas of relative isolation. This classification can ultimately be linked with the system of trans-continental communication. The areas of relative isolation are characterized by their distance from the main highways for the movement of peoples and cultures. Hence they display a different and complicated culture pattern, since their isolation was frequently broken by fresh movements and we see a curious pattern of survival of the older with the new.
