Somewhat boringly, the archaeologists posit that the bones may have been associated with cult practices.

Sometimes I wonder what archaeologists a few millennia down the line will think about small polymer statuettes of human females with disproportionately large breasts, but without discernible genitalia...

Looking through an archeological lens, sheep bone games and cult practices probably look the same. Imagine thousands of years from now, they'll probably see like football fans as a cult.

It very strongly depends on how you're using the word cult.
