Answer 1

I wonder though, also… if we take OPs question and premise it a different way…

Why don’t we see much in the way then of Bell Beaker beakers, or Chinese pottery of same era, etc? Yes, pure ubiquitousness is a major reason, as top reply says comparing future archaeologists find millions of plastic bottles as opposed to iPhones, but what of plastic bottles compared to clam shell containers?

I.e., in antiquity archaeology would we expect to see, let’s say, a large number of Chinese pottery? On same or similar volume as Greek pottery? Or was it sooooo much more of a volume as to say it would be akin to stumbling into several buried Costcos with plastic bottles remains, versus a scattering of 7-11s with clam shell containers left behind?
