The tradition of religious sculpture extends over most historical periods but is less clearly delineated than that of stonewares or porcelains, for it embraces the old custom of earthenware burial ceramics with later religious images and architectural ornament
这个句子中的it指代的是religious sculpture 吗 那么如果指代的是religious sculpture 的话后面那一句说上面会雕刻更多的花纹 为什么还说他less clearly呢？

2whereas in fact they were carefully and precisely worked out so that at the time, their meaning was clear, so it is with Chinese pots.
这一句so that 是什么用法？ 还有, their meaning was clear是插入语吗？ 那么so it is with chinese pots 又是什么成分？万分感激！

我觉得that指代的是tradition 所以后面的it指代 the tradition of stonewares or porcelains 这样是不是就说得通了？

So that我说不好，但是我觉得可以直接理解成“因此” their meaning就是一个分句，不是插入语，这几个分句都是句子不用分析成分。你贴上来的就是原句一点变化都没有么？感觉怪怪的...
意思是…然而它们被小心精确地发掘出（没有上下文我不知道work out 是什么），所以在那时，他们的意义是明确的，中国器皿也是如此。

在来点更多的解释吧？

比较认同7楼的说法，没有上下文的情况下，work out 不知道是不是发掘的意思，但是问的几点觉得都很有道理
