Check out the croquet-mallet shaped club. Anyone fancy a game?

See it here.

That looks like it must have been one HELL of a game of croquet ...

Hey, but I'm in.

*Insert sound effect of a muted but satisfyingly-THWACK-y shot here*

(Presumably we are not playing with those unpleasantly-treated skulls, mm?)

Definitely a game comes to mind resembling the original polo played by Afghan tribesmen using heads of one sort or another as balls

Not to be a personal blog whore, BUT since there's also a very interesting link to another piece on archaeology:

The piece, yes, was written by my own big brother - but it's neat stuff, even though sometimes I HATE reading my brother's blog, because he's a better writer than I am ...
