Some random tables for making an Archaeological Site. I added to it and revamped it a little from years ago. But it should be quick and easy.

A way to build an archaeological site.

EDIT: Anyone want to play-test it?

How about adding Tech Levels?

Samuel Penn has a little mechanic in his planet series (Garden Worlds might seem the most pertinent, but Barren Worlds actually goes into more detail) to learn more from a place that has something interesting to examine.

I'm not sure how to do that.

There are 17 (0-G) numbered Tech. levels in CT. B&C are the same as are D&E so, count each of those as one number. So, you really have 15 different ones.
3d6-3 might work? The higher Tech levels will take some storytelling to explain why they are found in an archaeological site.

That is quite ingenious.
Sure takes the guess work out of exploring some of those 'Die Back' worlds.
Made me think of the British TV series 'Black Books', from several years ago, where the main character gets a 9-12inch metal sphere with tiny nubs scattered around it. Nobody has a clue.
Spent the whole episode trying to figure out what it was.
Turns out it's a cigarettes' lighter.
