These carved bone dominoes were recovered from a site in Toronto, in 2007 by Archaeological Services Inc. (ASI). The excavation documented the changing landscape on Adelaide Street from a semi rural, upper middle class range of single-family homes to an urban, working class enclave of boarding houses and commercial businesses by the early twentieth century. Dominoes being a very popular game in many cultures, these pieces could have been used by both children and adults.
