Nor do you get rights over human remains on your land. You may even be required to report a dead body if you find one on your land, under threat of fine and jail.
If the human remains are of ancient Native American origin, then there may be other restrictions of what cane be done with the remains and any associated funerary objects.
Nor (in the US) do most people get to use birds, eggs, or even feathers of 1,000+ species of birds, even if found on their land, because of endangered species law (starting with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918).
And someone may have ownership rights to the land, but not mineral rights.
Therefore, land ownership clearly does not mean ownership and control of everything on the land.
