[JoRo]

My fortress finally got too damn slow, and so I abandoned it.  Intending to go loot it for cool weapons and armor, I start as a dwarf from the parent civ (this civ has but a single site, which may be relevant.)  I'm immediately greeted by fifteen wagons scuttling themselves.  Each scuttled wagon left behind a pile of logs... and everything I had traded home over the years!  There are piles of ownerless golden goblets encrusted with gems!
There also appears to be everything the caravan brought that I didn't take, because I know I never gave them any barrels yet I've found a masterfully encrusted (Twice!  With aluminum and Native aluminum!)  one here.  The caravan animals are also about, laden with goods, though I don't know how to get them away from the animals.
The real tragedy is there isn't a damn thing for me to spend my newfound ridiculous wealth on.  I should come back as a human; at least then I could buy armor that would fit.

Looking at some of this stuff, I'm not sure where it came from.  Some of these scuttled wagons had steel bars, which I never would've traded away and buying everything I wanted was never a problem.  Perhaps caravans are generated some time before they actually show up?

Aside: the Queen just punched a mountain goat to death, now I'm sad I didn't keep the fort going a few more seasons to have her show up.

The bars could be from other places they trade at.

Caravans dont trade any where else

Caravans dont trade any where else

 Not yet, anyway.

 Although this sounds vaguely like a plot to some story.

The caravan probably brought you steel bars at some point.  You didn't buy them, so they hauled them back home when they left.

If DF had warehouses, I'm sure your civ would have top men examining those crafts.  Top men.
