One of the large pithoi mentioned in the article:
A massive cult complex, dating back about 3,300 years, has been discovered at the site of Tel Burna in Israel.
While archaeologists have not fully excavated the cult complex, they can tell it was quite large, as the courtyard alone was 52 by 52 feet (16 by 16 meters). Inside the complex, researchers discovered three connected cups, fragments of facemasks, massive jars that are almost as big as a person and burnt animal bones that may indicate sacrificial rituals.

why would they think the animal bones indicate rituals?
Maybe it just indicates a food court with grilled meat..

Archeologists find something like this and get all excited. Imagine way in the future, archeologists discover the Mall of America!

The connected cups are particularly intriguing as examples of them have been seen beforethe ones found at the new dig site are believed to have come from Syria, due to their design. Though there is scant evidence of their use or purpose, archeologists generally believe, the researchers report, that they were likely cultic objects. Because of the newness of the site, the artifacts have not yet been tested for residue analysisSometimes "experts" simply 'overthink' things.
Obviously, they are primitive ear protectors, aka headphones.
