Why do archeological sites always get deeper underground with time? If ground gets on top of them, it must have came from somewhere else. Why no locations seem to rise with time, rather than sink?

Well because if the site is in a place that -didn’t- tend to get buried deeper over time, or possibly suddenly buried in an event, then later exposed, then there wouldn’t be an archeological site left to find at all as all the stuff should have gotten decomposed or weathered away.
What you are seeing is survivorship bias.
