True, and a good point, but of course, they also built POS buildings in the ancient world, and those haven't survived. :')
Aegean Dendrochronology Project
December 1998 Progress Report

by Peter Ian Kuniholm
A well-preserved juniper post, painted blue and with modern door hinges, was recovered from a modern village house simply because it looked suspiciously old. The sample we were given did not fit anything in our Neolithic inventory, so we sent a piece of it to Heidelberg to see what radiocarbon analysis would reveal. The date is 2117 B.C. +/-110 years, which means it is from some Early Bronze Age occupation near the lake at Kastoria.
