How deep below the surface artifacts can be found depends on many factors. In some cases archaeological material can be found on the surface if overlying material is eroded away. This may happen near rivers (as they change their course) or on tracks for example. Ploughing can also bring archaeological material to the surface. In other cases archaeological material may be buried quite deep if the environment is one which leads to rapid deposition of sediment over it, such as on floodplains.

In a very simplified way how deep archaeological deposits are will depend on their age.
