Im pretty sure far future archaeologists will be baffled and confused in the first place because:

"Oh god oh fuck theres microplastics in their bones. Oh GOD it's everywhere what did they do"

I feel like they are less confused by everything else

Technically yes, but I guess future archaeologists would be overwhelmed with the amount of information we leave, in comparison to older archaeology.

I'm sure they'll have enough similar issues that it won't be so mysterious

There's a decent chance we're screwing up so badly that there won't be any future archeologists.
