Answer 1

In addition to all the mentions of ceramic durability, there’s another pretty significant reason a lot of structures and other large objects didn’t survive. Throughout all the wars that happened throughout history, it was very common to just…destroy things, be it the invading force destroying them or a retreating force destroying them so the invaders couldn’t make use of free supplies. Food stores were often poisoned, too, for the same reason.
