    It’s so funny to read this article talking about the bones “may have been used for ceremonial purposes” and “this is the first time [a disk with a frog] has been discovered” and the archeologists are trying to figure it out, and they’re all just Pokemon.

      I thought that it was interesting that there didn’t appear to be any reference to local customs or games. I have no insight into how long such customs last across generations, but I’d be surprised if the game with bones was a “recent” development.

      There’s an archaeology in joke for that kind of thing.

      Generally it’s digging up a sex toy fertility idol.
