One time down in the archaeology lab I was sorting faunal bone, which is what we should have. US law states we are not supposed to have any human bone. I dump a bag out and in a nice little plastic bag labeled "human" is a human phalanx. This happened while my supervisor was out of town so I just set it aside and sent an email. But drat, someone at the dig site hosed up. There was also a human tooth in another lot. It's not "technically" illegal to have, but it's a headache because of repatriation. It has to go back to one of the tribes and that's a loooong legal shitshow. So yeah, some idiot at the dig site not re-burying the human poo poo like they were told to led to headaches for the NAGPRA rep in the department.
