Location for archaeological sites

Most of the caves have taken inspiration from real life caves, but since cave which are pretty famous like the Ajanta caves systems are not deep underground caves. Meaning they carve through the upper layers of the land, and on the side of hills, and they are exposed, and they have carvings on the exposed walls. So I was thinking, that according to the 1.16 cave gen, some caves are actually visible from on land, and even with the 1.17 snapshots. So it could be possible, that posts of the caves which carve onto the surface is where the archaeological sites are present.
