Cool.
Although the assumption that it's for telling the future I'll accept as more than guesswork when someone finds one labelled that way, or an eyewitness account of such a use.
But does the other one tell you what it's for?
People do weird things for reasons that make sense to them but can't necessarily be inferred.
There is no shame in saying "We don't know".
Someone some day will be speculating on the ritual significance of Cards Against Humanity.
It is an in joke in Archaeology that “it is clearly for ritual purposes “ is code for we really don’t have a feckin clue. I am in complete agreement with you. There are a pair of Byzantine spoons in the #SuttonHoo hoard. Were they for divination?
