You know those archaeology programmes on the telly, where they go to a field, dig two metres down and find an Iron Age settlement. Why did they have to dig 2 metres down? Is that because 2000 years of leaf fall has decayed into soil and covered it all up? In that case, why isn't the top soil several miles deep? I reckon the Biblical estimate of the Earth only being about 6000 years old might be true after all.

I think the Iron age in the UK was around 3000 years ago, loads more of leaf compost

It's like the story of the keen climber asking at his local cinema when they'd be showing the mountaineering film K2.
"K2? We've not had K1 yet!"
