based on those 36 fragments they can tell us some incredible details. Their whole culture was artistic, probably an art-based society like a hippie commune/art colony.

Vela Spila is a cave near Vela Luka near the western end of the island of Korcula (the name was a bit garbled because of the mark over the C to make it a "ch" sound).
Reportedly the village elder at the time these objects were made, Barak Obamavic, told the artists "you didn't make those."

Are they certain that isn’t just a petrified ancient animal cracker? ;-’)

Clay pots are heavy and fragile. If you are a nomadic culture then leather pots for cooking and woven baskets for storage are much more practical.
