Archeology question (time team)


Recommended Posts

Hello I have a question about archeology when watching time team I was wondering why so much is buried like I saw them unearthing some stone buildings and walls how did they get buried down?

 

Look at it this way. If it wasn't buried, it would have been eroded away by the elements. This was a question posed on the TT forum some years ago.

That old law of parsonimony.

 

Ha ha! … I presume you're referring to the lack of till receipts at T'Asda on T'Cross there. Parsonians are a miserly sub -species aren't they, almost to the point of parsimony! :)

Things get built over.

 

Troy consists of nine different cities and no less than 46 levels of inhabitation at the site.

 

Closer to home, where is Sheffield Castle? Buried under Castle Market.
