As is well-known, human society has undergone tremendous changes from ancient times to today, but in fact, human needs have not changed much. Therefore, in archaeology, the purpose of many things can often be guessed.
Take, for example, various daily necessities, especially common ones like tableware or tables and chairs. Even if there is a significant difference in appearance between ancient and modern times, a careful observation will reveal commonalities in the same item from different periods.
However, not everything is like this. For instance, with changes in time, climate, civilization, and the human race, some specific items change so drastically that modern people simply cannot guess their purpose.
Among these items, the most common is a variety of religious items, because these items are highly specific and purpose-oriented, so once the religion changes, these items naturally become unrecognizable.
