    Partly it looks like bamboo rootstock and culm base sections.

    Otherwise it looks like something extraterrestrial.

    Who, and for what reason, gathered these together...?
    And why in this place? From whence?
    Intriguing.

    So, there is a market for them somewhere. This looks like a whole truckload that's been dumped. Weird.

    Thank you for the replies, I'm wondering what people would use them for?

    I guess someone's business of supplying reptilian furniture went snake-belly up.
