I've always enjoyed reading about such discoveries, but it amuses me how anything ever found that can't be explained, such as the pork bones, are always ascribed to religious signifigance. An author pointed this out to me years ago, and if you pay attention it is always the case. Example; in ten thousand years archeologists dig up the golden arches- "This civilization obviously worshipped the great god Ronald McDonald".

thousands of cattle bones from the feast suggested "a person of great power who was revered by a large number of people".

That was my favorite bit. It reminded me of Bush's Thanksgiving visit to the troops in Baghdad. Sounds as if a great time was had by all.

Every thing that cannot be identified or who's use is not perfectly clear is put in one of two categories. "Religious object" or "toys". From the number of those objects found it seems our ancestors spent all of their time either praying or playing. I have to wonder when they found the time to get the crops in.
