Material culture can also help track societal shifts- who is trading with who and when. Do they have a cultural link to one group or another. Were they doing great economically or in a crisis. What was their technology like. What did they value. Etc...

So here's what it means to me as someone not in the field, never took a hobby-like interest, or tbh i don't even know that much of history:

Depending on what exactly is depicted on the belt, would tell you that people in bronze age, potentially, gave significance to same commit items that we do nowadays.

Imagine there was someone 14k years ago who saw the same star constilation and thought it was of significance? That would be pretty cool
