All this talk is making the engineers sound like grave robbers. Maybe the urns are just that, urns. Filled with xenomorph elder leftover goo. The little urns are the unrippen xeno-children. Yup. The engineers just stumble upon this tomb of "fire" and said lets play with it. The writing on the urns is interesting though, maybe the aliens do have a written language after all. Perhaps Scott will use Dan O'Bannon's idea that the alien grows up into a scholarly being that lives a ripe old age of 200 years.
The idea of an intellectual and technological Xeno could be pretty interesting.
Another potential possibility is that the "goo" is from the Space Jockey species (the real Space Jockey, and not an Engineer in a suit). I still have hopes that the original derelict isn't an Engineer in a suit, and that the Engineers use a "Space Jockey" in order to manipulate their technology.
