There's always the problem that Mexico has seen - it's not cheap or easy to protect ruins once they're discovered. In some places, there are tons of artifacts so once they're on the map, you have to expend resources protecting them. If they're not of academic/historical importance, it could be better to leave them 'undiscovered' so they're not pillaged.
