Why do archeologists have to *dig* for artifacts?

Why do archeologists have to dig into the soil/sediment to find artifacts and archeological sites? Why are older things always deeper in the ground? Why would they not be found on the same level? Can dirt and debris pile up that bad?

Consider that surface or shallow artifacts are easier to locate and thus have already been found.
