  1. The nationality of the archeologists is normally irrelevant.

    The artefacts would normally be considered to belong to the country in which they were excavated.

    .


  2. No, it belongs to the museum.

    There was a case where there was a highly status egyptian mummy in America so an egyptian curator asked the american to send it to its "homeland" and the american thought it was a good cause so they gave it to the egyptian museum.

  3. Laws vary in different countries and sometimes in different parts of the same country.  Therefore, your question doesn't allow for a correct answer that fits in all cases.  It could also depend upon what arrangements are negotiated prior to the excavation.  Another factor would be what the artifacts are.

    <<give me some more details about that>>

    That's difficult to do unless you provide at least a clue as to what "that" might be referring to.
