Gobate I: 'warm water form' - deep collect basin, blockable lip and heater basin

            Made with the same skill-set as for a monolithic sarcophagi (a feature also present on the site). The deep basin is lifted above the ground for drama, and with a long descent after the lip that does not marry with ideas of fruit presses (the current dominant interpretation).  A perfumed water and a warm bath-like space for feet or bodies? A potential late prehistoric welcome space for people who have walked great distances to trade for amber stones?

It's a detail, but whilst they are rare, double monolithic sarcophagi do exist at a number of sites, but always retaining the anthropomorphic proportions and without a liquid feeder lip and top shallow basin. 

For an idea of scale look at the composite linked below.
