In terms of their use, archaeologists aren't certain whether they were used as ear-rings or worn to gather locks of hair,

That is a silly supposition. Whales don't have hair.

The use of the gold rings is obvious.

They were put on the ground and then large bronze darts where lofted, by hand, into the air.

If the dart landed, and stuck in the ground close enough to a disk to touch it, then it gained the lofter a point. If the dart struck a disk, it gained the lofter 2 points. If the dart hit and stuck in the center hole, then it gained the lofter 3 points.

Highest point gaining lofter got to be chief for the next year.

Looser was sacrificed to the gods by method chosen by popular vote among the villagers.

How could anyone not see that?

All mammals have hair, whales are mammals, therefore whales have hair.
