I am guessing people in the dark age knew what was what with them simply because so much was still being crafted out of stone, particularly the cathedrals that were going up toward the latter half.
Oh, they knew what they were and what they did, it's just that they didn't work anymore. So here was this technical marvel that made bring water into towns and irrigation so much easier, but they couldn't use them anymore. It was back to going to wells and the rivers to get their water. Must have been a kick in the teeth. But when civilizations collapse, tech is typically lost. People remember the tech and what it did, but not how to make/use it.
