Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines the contribution that can be made to discussions of the nature of childhood in the later medieval period (c. 1000–1600AD) through a study of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquities Scheme, a government funded initiative that encourages the voluntary recording of archaeological objects in England and Wales. Seventy-one objects recorded by the Scheme on its online database have been classified as later medieval ‘toys’ and these form the basis for the discussion here. Paying particular attention to the objects described as figures or dolls, these finds will be integrated with evidence from archaeological excavations, contemporary written and artistic sources, and theoretical discussions of the nature of childhood in the past. It will be argued these dolls are evidence for not only adults across society imposing particular behaviours upon children, but also of the direct agency of children in the material record.

玩具和便携式文物计划:探索英格兰和威尔士中世纪晚期童年的来源
本文通过对便携式文物计划(Portable Antiquities Scheme)记录的文物的研究,探讨了对讨论中世纪后期(公元1000 - 1600年)儿童本质的贡献。便携式文物计划是一项政府资助的倡议,旨在鼓励自愿记录英格兰和威尔士的考古物品。该计划在其在线数据库中记录的71件物品被归类为中世纪后期的“玩具”,这些构成了本文讨论的基础。这些发现将与考古发掘的证据、当代文字和艺术来源以及过去关于童年本质的理论讨论相结合,特别关注被描述为人物或娃娃的物品。有人会说,这些娃娃不仅是社会上成年人对儿童施加特定行为的证据,也是儿童在物质记录中直接代理的证据。
