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.

There’s a running gag in archaeology that variations on “ritual purposes” actually means “I have no idea what this was for”.
That said, there has historically been a connection between certain divination practices and games of chance, so this could easily be both.
