Has anyone investigated the practice of sweeping the yard around a house?
The recently-published report of a house site at Manssas NBP, Virginia,
mentions the practice. Artifacts were virtually absent around the house,
but were found more than fifty feet away, probably because the yard was
swept. Has this phenomenon been noticed in the archaeological record
elsewhere?
