Description

Complete bone gaming die.

Archeologists identified seven different types, or patterns, of Native American bone dice. Two of these seven, including the one pictured here, had never before been encountered by archeologists. A first-ever-of-its-kind specimen of this sort in the natural sciences would be called a Type specimen. For scientists, Type specimens are the most important of all collected specimens because they are the source from which a new type of object or species is identified and described.
