Re:No one is certain what Roman bronze dodecahedrons were us... by caethan on Tuesday December 28, 2021 @08:55PM (#29720824)
It was found in a woman's grave goods: https://sci-hub.st/10.1007/s00283-013-9403-7

Sewing, spinning, weaving, and knitting tools are fairly common grave goods to find in women's graves: spindle whorls, needle cases, bone beaters, etc. As far as wood vs. bronze, almost certainly survivorship bias. The only wooden objects that survive that long are those that have fallen in bogs, where the anoxic environment prevents rot. Normal wooden grave goods will have rotted away by now.
