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.

Invoices might be untranslated but unlikely to have been in code. Maybe shorthand.

I heard there was a guy who sold jaguar ear lobes and otters noses. He never wanted to haggle either.

Guy goes to a bar in Pamplona, and while he’s there, sees another guy eating a huge sausage. He checks the menu, but didn’t see anything there. He asks the bartender if he can get one, to which the bartender replies “we’re all sold out- come back next week, I’ll set one aside for you”.
The next week the guy goes back to the bar, and flags down the bartender. The bartender seems a bit nervous, but says he’ll get his sausage in a minute. When he comes back out, the guy sees that he’s brought a tiny nothing of a sausage.
“What the heck is this?” Asks the guy
The bartender replies, “Sorry, the bull won today”

One of the senders scribbled part of the code in the margins, which helped to find more similarities
