Been at this for several hours tonight out here at Site 1 with several others trying to do our amateur sciencing/sleuthing/investigating.
I think for the OP: The segments of obelisks should be named or numbered on the map, in my opinion.
Here's what I've/we've found tonight:
1) The site seems to "honk" three times similar to how a D Scanner sounds but not quite.
2) The site rumbles low.
3) It appears the green glowy spots on the ground near where artifacts pop up slowly drain SRV fuel.
4) There's two breaks on the outer perimeter "walls" that are blown inward.
5) The triangular patterns on the holographic obelisks are the exact same between each obelisk from what we can see.
6) Out of all of the artifacts, only the relic glows very brightly.
7) There are four antenna that craft relics; there are four segments of obelisks.
8) Many of the obelisks are scarred and or knocked over/blown into chunks, further indicating an attack/fight.
Here are the questions I have:
1) Why is this outpost/site/station/whatever on a non-atmospheric moon with very low gravity?
2) Is there any significance to it being on a moon near a ringed gas giant?
3) If this is a structure or perhaps even giant spacecraft that's covered/buried, how can that be possible with no atmosphere?
4) If it is buried regardless of atmospheric conditions, why are the "roadways" at the obelisk segments not covered?
5) Is the large, flat round area we call "the landing pad" actually a landing pad?
That's as far as we've gotten so far. For me, it feels like a situation where this was an outpost of some kind, perhaps military, and suffered a fatal attack, that occurred a very very long time ago. The outpost is in very low power mode. The relics seem like batteries to me, put simply. And the totems/caskets/other artifacts are perhaps parts of machinery or components used in certain spots at the site which have yet to be determined.
That's my 2 cents on it, at least for what it's worth.

Just some late night thoughts, crazy maybe lol... been pondering about this whole new discovery all night, so the whole thing seems like a machine that could be powered up... what if we need to place -back- the alien commodities on this terrain/machine? Ancient tablet, orb, urn, totem, casket and relic... All descriptions are very vague and also the word 'purpose' comes back a few times. e.g "The orb appears to be a mechanical device, although no one so far deduced its purpose" also for the tablet: "A carved tablet with ancient ruins engraved upon it. Although it looks like a decorative item, it might have another purpose" and even the casket "An ancient stone casket. Its purpose is not clear and it is sealed shut". Its definitely being pushed how they got a purpose! other than sell them ; ) I also feel these items to be religion themed or at least some beliefs systems... an urn and casket? I hope we aren't in a graveyard lol! I'll try to look into it....who knows!
100% with you on this, although I think the terms "urn" and "casket" might be generic ways of differentiating the objects for our own recognition rather than them being specific to that kind of object (they may not actually contain the ashes of the dead or the dead themselves).
