Thanks. I definately think you connect with this kind of thing more once you've had a go yourself.

Since thinking of the sandbox game I'd like to try it, though maybe with wooden balls. I doubt games were a use for them, or we'd have found more chipped ones than we have. They mostly seem carved of rock that would easily chip if used as bolas or in a game now I've been reading the links people provided. I'm thinking they were cherished status type items.

Kingship and stones being connected in later myth, perhaps they were a sign of a level of authority.
