True, nothing critical to understanding of history was probably lost here. But I would consider it a city planning level tragedy, if I lived there. We cannot preserve every tidbit our ancestors have left behind. But if a site has been settled since the neolithic times and there are artifacts remaining from those days it would be nice to leave a piece of history as a reminder of continuity and a personal connection to history. To me, while I appreciate academic knowledge, actually laying my hands on items carved and touched by previous generations creates a sense of connection that being merely cognitively aware of the facts cannot evoke. The similar difference in looking at a picture of a fossil, and actually observing and touching one. I have no idea of the density of historical relics in the area, though. And, yeah, I know, it's all in my head. But still.
