Van.
Le van est un outil agricole dont on se servait autrefois pour nettoyer les céréales. c'était un panier très plat et large servant à séparer la paille, la balle et la poussière du bon grain en les projetant en l'air d'un geste alerte pour offrir au vent les parties les plus légères à éliminer.
Son origine est aussi vieille que l'agriculture, c'est-à-dire du néolithique.
Il était généralement confectionné d'un tressage de paille, d'osier, de branches de châtaignier refendues, etc.
Il a été mécanisé pour prendre la forme du tarare, machine désormais obsolète qui a été intégrée dans la batteuse puis dans la moissonneuse-batteuse.
