Good point, if those who will dig it out are anything like us, it will only instigate even more curiosity.

Most of the archeological sites we have are pretty much just ancient landfills.

Some sites are middens, but I wouldn't say most. Artifact scatters (discovered through survey) and residential sites (what we're typically looking for and may themselves contain middens) are probably the most common.

Imagine all the adult toys that would be dug up. Fertility cult or something.

theyd probably unironically think that there were anime fandom cults that worshiped small plastic toys
