Do archaeologists sell their work?
In general, archaeologists do not sell the artifacts they discover. They consider this "treasure hunting" and not a proper academic practice. In addition, ancient artifacts are increasingly claimed as government property in their country of origin, so the discoverer has no legal right to sell them. When exploring such sites, archaeologists are typically working on a government sponsored project run by a museum or University. They are essentially selling their time and expertise. Even in situations where artifacts are not claimed by the government, legitimate archaeologists work to ensure that all important artifacts are given to Universities and/or Museums that will further research the artifacts and make them available for public display. (Think of Indiana Jones, who was sponsored by his University and gave them his "finds." Contrast this with his rival, Belloc, who was strictly after the money.) Note that fossils - such as dinosaur fossils - are the province of Paleontologists rather than Archaeologists. Fossils are generally treated like minerals such as gold; if you own the property, the material you find there belongs to you. Governments typically do not interfere with this because fossils and minerals have no cultural significance.
