Archeologists seem to place a lot of emphasis on rituals and such, but how much time did the primitives and ancients really have for such things in their relatively short lifespans? Seems to me their main concerns would be food, survival, shelter and security leaving little time for ceremonial activities.
The fact that we still do things that are not necessary for survival per se shows that it’s built in. That said, ‘ritual purpose’ is a lazy way to describe odd items that get dug up.
