I have been watching a TV series that is on Amazon. It was a British show called Time Team. I have to use the closed captions to have a chance at some of the accents.
They went to some city where a viewer sent in a letter. He was digging in his back yard garden and found what he though were Roman foundations. So the real archeologists investigated. They could see that the neighbors house had clear lines from the days when the walls were made. They went into the neighbor's house and found a wooden beam that was obvious very old, and hand cut with no saws. The did a tree ring analysis and dated it to 1242. Now that is an old house. Of course they went to one site that dated to 48 AD. Two digit dates.
In Oklahoma City if one goes back just to the 1850's there is no civilization or buildings at all. The Indians may well have camped here but the took the Teepee with them, and left no structures behind. They were a true stone age peoples back then.
