I have wondered the same thing.

There are different kinds of remote sensing and applications of them. We’ve used geophysical remote sensing to find geological structures containing oil and gas deposits for decades. Other types of remote sensing include dipolar resistivity and proton magnetometer. The ideal situation exists when we can detect and identify buried remains without disturbing them. Scientific advances are occurring very rapidly, and disturbances related to digging destroy irreplaceable data which could possibly be saved as technology improves.
Regarding why always buried in lots of dirt:

That’s funny and subtle, heh, heh.
