It's not uncommon to build using human remains or on top of the human remains. Quite a few plague pits got uncovered in London in recent years by developers wanting to build on whatever scrape of land they can find. Developers are required to allow some time for researchers to go through the site before they are free to then pour concrete over them and erect their towers.
- berkes 3y agoI live in a city that was founded by the Romans around the time of Christ. But has been abandoned and rebuild a couple of times (by a.o. Charlemagne). Everytime something is built, dug, or torn down, they find old or ancient foundations. Sometimes underneath old foundations. Fortresses underneath mideaval cellars, city walls below a casino. A Bathouse in a parking garage. It makes building stuff, quite cumbersome. And I can only imagine the amount of ancient foundations that have been quickly eradicated, so that a real estate developer could keep on schedule to maximize profits.
