Man I found the article and it's hilarious bad science.
My favorite parts are the long passage about the native American owned casinos, the constant reference to randomness or and probability without providing any data on the actual randomness and probability of the artefacts and the cherry on the cake: the fact he pretends that flat rocks with markings are comparable to the six faced dice with numbering of the indus valley civilisation (that he carefully avoid to show or describes).
