Ancient India humans (royality)were cloned in Jars . Kuravas 100 brothers born on the same day but process described from jars.

I'd go with either ovens or storage of some sort. I doubt it's rain water, but it's possible that water was collected for crops

After watching the Alien movies it's pretty obvious what these are for. Wonder if there are still some in the ones with the lids.

My father who is from Laos used to tell stories of ancient armies who would use these jars as containers for grain, however without further evidence one can't really know.

I agree with the genius who said they're little tombs for ashes or whatever body parts would fit in them.
My uneducated guess is that they were made after a battle. My Buddhist friend from Thailand said that most people are buried in tombs if they can afford it.

Toilets IMHO

Definately ovens. Clustered about where there were farming villages. The remains of the housing just eroded over the years.

Apparently they were used to store alcohol left for weary travellers along specific trade routes. But some of the other tales are much more entertaining.

They're drums. Stretch a skin, tie it in place and bang it with a stick. Woomba-loomba! Woomba-loomba! Boombadoomba BOOM BOOM BOOM!

the rainwater thing doesn't really fit, otherwise there wouldn't be any lids
also, they would probably be more evenly spaced rather than clustered about.
I addition, there used to be lots of smaller ones but the ones that were small enough to be moved have mostly been stolen.
There's a fantastic story about how they were used to make sake and covered with the skins of fallen enemies, but the guides keep telling you they really don't know, although their best guess is that they were tombs, either for actual bodies or for ashes

The logical answer would be linked the earlier note about them possibly being on a trade route, they were probably used to collect rainwater so it would help travelers or some sort of message courier with water so they didn't have to run off path as much trying to find water.

I`m guessing... toilets?
