How much of that stuff is sold to private collectors??
In this day and age, if it was an official dig none of it. If it happened in the 1970s or earlier it could have...many Indian artifacts sit in basements all over this state by private creek walkers/diggers from the 70s on back. Most museums only display 10% or less of what they have and rotate it, over 50% of their items never make it to the displays at all. Its a matter of quality and if it fits their theme of the display, also many duplicates of more common items, sometimes display space is also a factor.
