If some house in Greece is sitting on the ruins of the classical era, and its owner sells the house to some mining company, can't people protest the impending destruction?

It doesn't seem right to treat 15K-year-old archeological sites as sellable goods. It should belong to Australia and mankind.

I think that in some countries at least the moment that an archeological site is discovered it becomes property of the government.
