How has archeology a thing? Why is so much of our history found under the ground we reside today? Why do we have to dig down to find ancient towns? What happened?

Well, it’s not going to be floating in the air, and most of what’s on the surface is paved over or worn away. All that’s left is what’s beneath the ground, even if it’s relatively little.

The stuff that *is* paved over often ends up being what’s under the ground, specifically because we just built over the top of it.
