I'm a little disappointed the article didn't go into more detail.
For example, what signs could archaeologists in the far future find of our current civilization, and how far into the future?

If The Event happens now then I imagine nuclear waste dumping sites (which often try to account for deterring far future exploration) and plastics in regular rubbish dumps would be indicators of our civilisation.
