Eli5 – Why are we finding entire homes and streets in archaeological digs? doesn’t anyone notice a street or building starting to get covered in dirt and dust? at some point someone must notice the old plato theatre is knee high into the earth?
Sometimes people abandon an area because it becomes unlivable, like the water dries up or the crops won’t grow. Sometimes whole towns and areas get completely covered instantly by things like volcanic eruptions or tsunamis or floods
