Why are so many archeological discoveries found buried under ground? I just read a post about obstacles with expanding the subways in Rome due to finding ruins, and I understand finds buried like Pompeii. How do these sites get covered over so deeply?

You ever see rhe layer of dust on something in your house after a month? A solid layer, maybe so thick it obscures the surface.

The founding of Rome was more than 33,000 months ago. And the outdoors are far dustier than some room you don’t spent much time in.
