I think the antiquities/archaeological finds should stay and be displayed in a country where they are safe from destruction by fanatics-that certainly excludes those countries with governments and people stuck in the 7th century, like Trashcanistan and such.

I do want all the stuff found displayed-it doesn’t belong in a drawer, either. Small private museums are great places-we have a lot of them with wonderful stuff in them-there need to be more, because they proudly display all their stuff. My cousin’s husband went to work for one of those after having taught and conducting digs for a large concern-he was much happier at the smaller place.

I have some arrowheads I’ve found over the years-most people around here do, since all this area is near a river, and was a camping place for the Apaches, Comanches and others. Nobody cares if you have them-they are literally alkl over the rocks on the bank if the river floods.
