The research justification for retaining artefacts is a diversionary tactic in almost every instance. The researchers that are really interested in studying artefacts in detail are generally willing to travel to the countries where the artefacts are located anyway - if this was not the case, the one would assume that within Egypt, one would find only Egyptian Egyptologists, which is clearly not the case.

You might be surprised to find that at many Natural History Museums in the States their are warehouses full of Egyptian Antiquities that the capitalists have been using against its own people as equity cash houses. This is a serious problem in the States and needs to be addressed. They are not used as research the articles were packed away and in these warehouses you will find answers to many questions.
