The older a site is, the deeper it usually is, because soil and building add height to many areas. In some cases, the conquerers in wars just build right on top of the conquered area. In Rome, there are sites in the middle of the city that are one level below the current ground level.

PRE-HISTORIC DINOSAUR BONES AND THOSE OF EARLY HUMANS AND CIVILIZATIONS! EVEN, OLD COINS IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD OR WOODS WITH A METAL DETECTOR! NATURE HAS A HABIT OF CONCEALING EVERYTHING OVER TIME! GOOD HOBBY!!
