    I love this story and in my head cannon she’s a skilled gamer, but these dice-like bones were also used a lot for divination - checking with the spirits or ancestors, that kind of thing.

    So she could’ve been a witchy teen.

    No, archeologists, do not mind your business. Keep doing your job of discovering cool, interesting things about the past, keep expressing wonder at those cool & interesting things, and keep informing us of all of those cool, interesting things. How the fuck else would we have known about a Bronze Age gamer girl?

    Oh, and let’s hang out some time? I wanna see that badass fucking pog collection of yours and hear all the stories that come with it!

      the blue sky stuff is jokingly implying that the archeologists are judging her for the amount of sheep bones she had and saying they shouldn’t judge her for that. I don’t think the poster has an issue with archeology

        I understood pretty much the same, I just took it in a different direction.

    Archeological evidence that spectrum behavior is not a new thing.

    (I mean this in a positive way (fuck you antivaxers) but if someone thinks it’s stereotyping I’ll delete it.)

    Meanwhile, 5000 years ago: “thank god the sheep ankle kid is dead. We can finally get rid of all of these sheep ankles she bugs us about all the time.”

    I always thought dice like those were made from vertebrae

    I guess they’re ankle bones

    That seems kind of sweet. She passed young, and her family, and possibly friends and other kids she played with, made sure she was the champ in this world and the next. Not many people are loved that much.
