My new neighborhood is not only also my old neighborhood

Due to a lot of circumstances in my life I had to move to a new home. The new home is about 750 meter from my old home. So I stil live in the same neighborhood. The part of town I live in is quit new. When I moved to the old house there where about 30 houses finished. That was 28 years ago. Now it's close to 2000 houses. So the neighborhood has changed a bit since the last three decades. For the people in my city the neighborhood was new back in the nineties. But that doesn't mean it was new all along. When building all the new houses several historical sites where discovered. They found out that this area was already inhabited 400 years before christ.

There where several excavations. They found villages and burial fields but also glass, figurines of Roman gods and a lot of where found and a lot of utensils.

It's special to realize so many people have lived their lives centuries before me in the same place where I live now. Maybe someone will find evidence of my life in this neighborhood a few centuries from now. Looking around I guess it won't be a piece of craftsmanship but more likely an object made of plastic.
