In 1998 (I'm not sure of the date) archaeologists from the University of Florida sent a team of archaeologists to Hog Island at the mouth of the Suwannee River. They excavated a 14' tall Indian mound. When I went there in 2011 the mound was just 3' tall. The archies gathered over 20,000 artifacts but they would not share them with the residents of Suwannee. They destroyed the mound and all the Indian artifacts are locked in the basement of UF where nobody will ever see them again. What do you call that?

The TRUTH
And that baffles me because they "belong to the citizens of Florida".they are "part of the peoples trust" after all we paid for it. They talk out of both sides of their mouth here. We know that. The archaeologists Only do What the state pays them to do With your money.
