Egyptian Greeks writing curses in the Roman Netherlands! Super cool stuff! From Coriovallum, the same site where we identified a game board 😁
Hey look, we have a new piece out for @theconversation.com! Check out our thoughts on these 12.000 year old dice and play in general!
Maya ballplayer, 600-900 CE. The piece comes from Jaina Island, an important burial site located off the coast of Campeche. The player wears thick hip and arm protectors, essential elements for the Mesoamerican ballgame, where a heavy rubber ball was struck primarily with the body.
Very grateful for the ERC for funding our research!!

It’s always ‘this stick with rando marks on it is clearly a magic wand!’ and never ‘guess kids are gonna kid!’

You can compare throwing one of these ancient dice to a coin toss – although this discovery also underscores that dice are much older than coins.
