Archaeological digs of settlements dating back to Neolithic times have revealed a disproportionately high density of heel bones of sheep or other animals among the shattered pottery and flints that are usually found in sites that humans once inhabited.

Rather than gambling, these early dice are thought to have been used for divination.
Divination. Bones with number.
