I suspect a lot of it is related to the fact that we 'colonists' don't really have that much to 'look back' at that's post-'Stone Age'.Heck, considering the USA, in the OTU, the first colonists would've arrived a little after 800 or so.For 'Oz & NZ, much later.

Subject: Re: [TML] Vast ancient site built by equal society
Archeology is a great plot hook for me. In fact, when World of Warcraft came out with archeological content, I started playing for a bit. So that tells you how much I would love to get a degree in it.But anyways, Traveller, and the OTU Show how much archeological opportunity was missed by Marc and the other writers- just look at how much of the history is recorded, with only the Ancients remaining mysterious.I mean, we don’t see trade in First Imperium artifacts very much, or digs focused on uncovering day to day survival during the Long Night. I mean, look at the records gap between the fall of the Roman Empire and the early 11th century (even church records are a bit spotty), then multiply that by thousands of world multiplied by thousands of little details that never got recorded.But this is why IMTU there were tons of semi-mysterious past empires and archeology is actually one of the main sources of scientific knowledge.-----
