I was playing on terrifying map and at one point traders came to my fortress. They set up at my Trade Depot.

The problem is my trade depot was outside, where all the zombies were. The traders were eventually attacked and now they're zombies too. However, the trade depot looks to be still active (it isn't empty; it looks stocked with items that the traders came in with), but I can't do trades because the traders are dead.

I haven't had any other trader come by for several seasons after this incident.

Is this intended behavior in the game? I need to trade; would building another trade depot help attracting other traders?

For the sake of it, remove the trade depot first and afterwards build a new one.
That should do the trick.

Also prepare for a possible siege if traders from civs other than your own are destroyed enough they can respond with a siege even if you didn't cause their deaths

Is the Depot listed as occupied? ie, traders still marked as occupying it (even if they are zombies) or is it as if the traders have left now and it's just a structure full of crap.

It might still think the 'traders' are on the map, even in zombie form. You're in an exellent position for some zombie science.

Also, what possessed you to build a depot outside in zombie country?
