An object that was first discovered almost 300 years ago still puzzles scientists after all that time.

There are more than 50 theories for the function of this 12-sided, pentagonal-faced bronze object — but archaeologists have never quite figured it out.

There were two big mysteries in the news this week. First there was the discovery of a Roman dodecahedron in a field in Lincolnshire and second there was the question of what happened to Michael ...

The dodecahedron is one of the five Platonic solids, perfect geometric forms studied by Greek philosophers. Each of these solids was associated with a natural element: fire, air, water, earth, and ...

Much about archaeology can be described as trying to figure out the context in which objects and constructions should be interpreted. A good example of this are the metal dodecahedrons (twelve-side… ...

What makes the dodecahedron distinctively different is that it is shown as though seen from far, far above. The effect is achieved by using “bird’s-eye perspective,” a method that relies on ...

This model is an "augmentation" of a truncated dodecahedron. On three decagonal faces, the decagon serves as the base of a figure with a regular pentagon on top and five square and five triangular ...

The dodecahedron (a three-dimensional twelve-sided shape) was first discovered by archaeologists in 2023 - but its purpose remains a mystery.

A robotic dodecahedron that can collect tissue samples from deep-sea animals for later genetic analysis could speed up the identification of unknown species ...
