My town is built on a settlement which, estimated is 2000 years old. How does this work? As far as I know people always lived here (old Roman and medieval roads were found) but the town now lies several meters higher than the original one. I would suspect that old buildings are taken down and a new one is raised.
Does sediment, dust, … stacks meters high over a period of 2000 years and wouldn’t people dig out old buildings? Or did they purposely mound the entire town?

Built on top of?
Or did these settlements just grow into villages, towns and cities?
