I don't know if it's the case here, but it's common practice in archeology to leave some parts of a site undisturbed. You never know how technology and techniques might improve in the future and if you dig everything up now you might destroy stuff that could have been preserved.

Isn't there still a sealed tunnel from where the palace used to me, to where the horse track used to be? I thought I read something about that a while ago.
