Nobody, including the best respected anthropologists or archeologists, can know, with any certainty, why or for what purposes ancient peoples made the artifacts that are discovered buried in the earth.
Guesses can be made and possibilities may be determined, but scientific certanty is not possible when determining motive or belief in prehistoric human relics.
Many useful tests can be made on relics to determine their methods of manufacture or origin.
It is, however, a matter of open discussion as to why they made those things.
CONSIDER! What do you think a future discoverer would make of a Beatles album? A religious votive relic or a political statement... or just a bit of fun.
