Interesting.
This jibes with stories my father told me about how he and his brothers found Indian burial sites and other Indian artifacts in upstate New York when he was a kid/teen. He must have found thousands of arrowheads over the years (tilled farmland brought them to the surface). I found a few walking the fields with him as a kid myself.
Anyhow he said the burial site was a major find and they knew it, and so they contacted the museum of Rochester or something, which came in much took ownership of everything, including all credit for the discovery, then hid the artifacts away, etc. He didn't have anything nice to say about his dealings with them, the experience majorly disappointed him, as he believed this stuff was meant for the public consumption but in the end was just hidden away.
