A couple of references worth looking at include:

Hello!

Does anyone have any references for work done with 19th-century
homesteads in
the context of CRM work?  How does one determine if an artifact scatter
(in
this context) should be recommended for more work?  What sort of
research
questions can one ask?

Obviously, any help/advice is much appreciated!  :)

Thanks,
Jessica
