Why are they circumsized? Surely it would have been less work to leave the stone foreskin uncut.

I suspect many of the uncut ones are less obvious and thus may have had their purpose misidentified. Also, it's unclear if these are cut or merely retracted

If the tools on display in the article are anything to go by, there is a distinct possibility they just got up their own ass.
