Since chalk also contains silicates, breathing in the dust could be bad for you.

Breathing in the dust of exploded chalk sling ammo ? Negligible effect. Compared to what those people went through.

Maybe they did use sun dried clay. After it lays on the bottom for a couple of hours it will start to dissolve and the form will break down. All the guys excavating the site a couple of thousand years later will find are spots of clay mixed in with the soil. The clay would have to be fired to keep its shape.
