After digging to a depth of 100 meters last year, russian sceintists found traces of coper wire dating back 1000years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network one thousand years ago.
So, not to outdone, in the weeks that followed American scientists dug 200 metres and headlines in the US papers read:
"US scientists have found traces of 2000 year old optical fibres, and have concluded that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians."
One week later, the Ugandan newpapers reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 500 metres, Ugandan scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using wireless technology.
...Just kidding

or rather of no portion of the population at all as the people living there that long ago died out before the current "native americans" arrived from Asia (probably following the Aleutans from Japan) a few hundred years at most before Columbus...
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

Probably just to give a nice, even transition between depth and time distance. I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt it's for any 'real' archaeological reasons.
I was gonna toss in something about depth to the K-T Boundary relating on the 1-10 range, but ran into an interesting point on Wikipedia refering to fossils found 1.3 meters above the Boundary as being 40,000 years younger. I guess compaction works over time.
