While not high in number, the types of toys have raised some questions as to why the excavations have located certain toy types and not others. Is it due to purposeful/accidental deposition, or maybe socio/economic factors? This paper will...
‘The True Spirit of Service’: Toys as Tools of Ideology at the Dorchester Industrial School for Girls (2018)

The School, which opened in Dorchester in 1859, had the goal of training girls from impoverished backgrounds to be domestic servants, and as such, the material culture at the School would have been important in reinforcing or contradicting the social roles that these girls were being taught to inhabit. Using adult and doll scale...
