Post Medieval is an archaeological term, meaning anything of a period after the end of the medieval period. In England, this effectively means anything from the Tudor period (1485-1601) or after. Some archaeologists consider the Post Medieval period to end around 1750 with a Modern period after this, but others include all post Tudor finds to be Post Medieval.
