Archaeologists believe that they may have been used as funeral urns. The locals say that the jars were used in making wine to celebrate a great military victory 1,500 years ago.

Nmat said at 12:43 p.m. on Mar 28, 2007: How interesting! What are the jars made of? They look like stone. Did the bomb craters unearth them, or disturb them greatly? Great tabblo, as always, Michele.
Micadz said at 6:46 p.m. on Mar 28, 2007: Thanks for the compliments. The bombs did not destroy them nor unearth. The place was just heavily bombed.
