These clay figurines would be classified as ideotechnic relics, because they are solely meant for aesthetics and for showing the village's culture and society, and are not practical.

Not only were clay figurines found, but also sophisticated houses made from stone, mud and bricks. These houses would be classified as sociotechnic features, because they aren't only practical, but are also used to show social class.
