Would it be possible to detect traces of a civilisation after a world-shattering collision?

If the Earth was destroyed by a cataclysmic event such as a large mass colliding with it, such that it fractured into multiple pieces, would any trace of human civilisation remain intact ?

I.e., if some alien race discovered the remnants and thoroughly examined them, would they find anything that would suggest that a civilisation once existed on that world?

If so, would these traces include substantial things like buildings or structures remaining intact on pieces of the fractured earth?
