What would you do if one day you were hiking through nature when you look down and discover a beautiful ancient arrowhead. Would you keep it? Put it back where you found it?
For many centuries, the norm was to take the artefact, exhibit it at home, sell it to the highest bidder or bring it to a museum to be displayed as part of a grand collection. Nowadays, countries, states and regions have various laws and regulations stipulating what you should and shouldn’t do if you find an archaeological artefact.
