The default bucket that archeologists throw stuff into if they really don't know is "religious object".
Oftentimes, that’s a sort of inside joke. If it’s even remotely probe-shaped, they assume it was used for sex. But since that doesn’t look nice on academic papers, they’ll use “ritual” as a euphemism.
Seriously, archeologists find a lot of ancient dildos.
Maybe 50 years ago. Don't think there's as much holdup now.
Gotta disagree, I bet they're still finding great-great-great-[...]-grandmother's dildos (or -grandfather's, who knows?) and they hold up just fine, all things considered.
It's obviously a symbol of power!
