Native Americans created dice more than 12,000 years ago, study finds

Archaeologist Robert J. Madden of Colorado State University has identified the world's oldest known dice, created by Native American hunter-gatherers on the western Great Plains over 12,000 years ago. By re-examining artifacts from Late Pleistocene Folsom-period sites in Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico, Madden discovered that these "binary lots" predate the earliest known Old World dice by more than 6,000 years. These objects are often the only decorated, non-utilitarian items found at these ancient sites, featuring artistic markings that distinguish them from everyday tools.
