I’m from a 2000+ years old city that has a shit ton of Roman ruins buried in the ground to the point that every new development is super anxious about finding any and getting delayed by archeologists. What gets me is that it feels like 2k years isn’t that long ago in the grand scheme of things but clearly it’s more than long enough to trap shit under meters of soil.

The tiling here is likey buried under soils that have eroded from upslope somewhere.
Soil forms about 1 cm every 200 to 500 years.
