No idea why the amphora? The update has to be called Worlds Part 2 
Best guess is it's something to do with the new ruins biome (one of at least 7 new biomes) datamined but

I hope it's something meaningful because the existing ancient ruins are pretty lacking.
What do I even do with archaeology finds? Why is this a thing?

Oh this is a whole butt biome according to the datamining. Like entire planets that are just in ruins.
The archaeology currently available is part flavor text part very complicated entirely optional lore that you have to go waaaaay out of your way for an ungodly amount of time to learn. NMS has insanely deep lore to it that most people are entirely unaware of because it never beats you over the head with it. Which is GREAT because aside from Mass Effect, Morrowind and Yakuza, I fricking hate talking in games unless I actively want to seek it out (NMS, Elden Ring)

I think the game would benefit a lot from planets not just being a single biome. Imo ruins should be a region of a planet and not the whole thing, like how oceans work.
Could also use some more depth to sentinel patrols, once you've fought them once it's just the same thing every time.
I don't mind the hidden, optional lore. Not really something I have time for but I appreciate their effort. There does need to be more instruction to these systems than just giving an item which says "This radiator is very old" and hoping the player figures it out. I carry so much junk around that may or may not be useful.
