Please note that this guide has not been fundamentally changed from the original print version of the Finds Recording Guide (Geake 2001), written when the database contained just 8,800 non-numismatic records.
Introduction
Follow the guidance given in Egan 1988. Don’t use the word ‘petronel’ as it isn’t specific enough. A separate guide may be consulted specifically for ‘hornbooks‘.
PAS Object type to be used
Use TOY
PAS object classification to be used
Use hornbook in the Classification field, as applicable
Date
Most toys recorded by the PAS date from the post-medieval period (Egan 1988; Forsyth with Egan 2005), or even later. Medieval toys, however, are increasingly documented (Egan 1998, 281-283)
