They're for knitting gloves.

Came here to say this. You wrap the yarn around the knobs and it gives you the finger holes. This was proven and women have used these to actually make knitted gloves. There's no mystery at all about these anymore.

I still laugh about that shit with my wife. I don't remember how it came about, but the archeologists were saying it's religious in nature or some shit and a little old lady showed them up. Funniest fucking shit.

I laugh at the archaeologists who do not know this when it is apparently common knowledge here

Lol, ya think? I think they're gambling devices. We ain't so fuckin different, and those soldiers didn't have smart phones.

Likely something to do with fishing nets! Either manufacturing them or used as weights to get the nets under the water. Also could have been a measuring gauge, like measuring spaghetti or something else.
