Abstract

<abstract> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>This paper is intended to pose questions about the recording of Post-Medieval toys found during the course of archaeological excavations in Britain. We ask whether there is any useful purpose in recording the location and deposition of modern toys and toy fragments, and note the absence of any current forum for presenting data on toy recovery. Toys found during the course of excavation at Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxford, are used as a case study.</p> </abstract>
