    The discussion on dirt floors reminded me of when I was on an
    archaeological excavation in central Syria.  The mudbrick houses
    (think: adobe) of the village all had dirt floors.  They were
    comfortable, cool, and smooth.  They could be swept.  The villagers
    rolled out mats and slept on the floors.  Once or twice a day,
    someone tended them by hand-sprinkling water around, from a plastic
    sprinkler can with a large head.  I don't recall a problem with dust
    at all. Judy Bjorkman
