Miami as well. Built on a former Native American settlement going back ~2000 years. Of course that settlement was like the Manhattan one below. Nothing but small huts populated by hunter/gatherers. They did leave behind permanent markers though: the "Miami Circle", numerous mounds, burial crypts...etc. There were also a few periods of being largely abandoned after the Spanish killed off the natives.
It does happen in Miami that highrise construction projects get held up do to archeological finds/digs..
If you ever stay at the Marriott Marquis in Downtown, you are on top of a large Indian burial ground that was built over
