Story summary
- A study led by Dr. Walter Crist at Leiden University shows that AI identified a 2,000-year-old limestone slab from Heerlen, Netherlands, as a game board.
- The slab was found in the Roman town of Coriovallum and shows a grid of lines and wear consistent with game pieces.
- Researchers used use-wear analysis and AI simulations to date the carving to roughly 250–476 CE, suggesting it aided archaeologists in identifying other games.
