The problem is how it's written, I think.
I now understand what you're saying, but the way it's phrased in the article makes it seem like they need to know where it came from for ritualistic and supernatural reasons. Like there are rituals the anthropologists have to perform, not that they might have ritualistic use in the past.
It's a weirdly written sentence.
Or maybe I've just been awake for too long.

I recommend that you read the original document which says this: “However, to fully understand and appreciate these artifacts, it's crucial to know the exact location where they were found. The context of such discoveries helps archaeologists piece together ancient settlement patterns and cultural practices. For instance, hoards or collections of objects were often deliberately placed in specific locations for reasons that could range from ritualistic to supernatural.” Here is the link: https://www.museum.ie/en-IE/News/Appeal-for-information-about-Bronze-Age-Axeheads-F https://www.museum.ie/en-IE/News/Appeal-for-information-abou...
