    Usually context is necessary for archeology. Finding these next to a parking lot wouldn’t be very helpful.

      We’ve worked out everything about this ancient game however we are still figuring out how playing around cars played a role in the game

      I feel like whenever archaeology finds something new they’re like “this was a massive arena for entertainment, people traveled from possibly thousands of miles away to watch two people play the game in the parking arena.”

      Like the get it very wrong at first but then figure out more.
