This issue of critiquing the use of childhood play memories brings to mind  
all those interviews with Native American people and oral histories taken by  
history museums. Do the criticisms of our bottle cap and marble games apply to  
the validity of oral histories too? When prehistorians have nothing more than 
 oral histories to interpret archaeology, is this also less valid? What is 
the  point of interviewing anyone if the information has no application in the  
theoretical world?
