"How do these things get buried?"

It's always an interesting question, isn't it? I'm always surprised at the layers and layers they find in cities.

Building materials were scarce and expensive, so old buildings were often taken down and reused in new buildings. Did farmers bring in soil to cover the foundations to make farm land? Moving soil was heavy, back breaking work. You'd think it would have been easier to just clear new land for farming.

Or did natural processes move the soil?

Turns out many others have asked that question. I'll have to read some of these pages...

DuckDuckGo --> how did old archaeological sites get buried
