Fun facts from my zooarch days: if you shake a couple of these bones in your hands they sound like dice.

It’s already kind of iffy to assume religious significance to a find, but to assume function within a ritual? Those bones could be her collection of pretty bones for all we know. That’s bad science journalism. I bet the archeologist got caught musing what could it mean and the writer simply cherry picked what they thought was most interesting.
seems like that’s a fair description of what all journalism ends up being, but most especially science journalism… i hate trying to sift through articles for actual information on finds like this…
