Engine blocks, large cast parts, trace outlines made by decayed synthetics and sheet metal in the rock matrix, though quite flattened and sometimes stretched out a bit they will still be recognizable as transport.
Toilets. That’s what will last. Yes, they’ll crack into multiple pieces, but they’re thick enough to remain as pieces rather than grind down to sand, and there’s lots of them.
The cockroaches will probably believe them to be religious artifacts. Or (as in a story I once read), forges to heat metals.
