Jesus Christ, people, if you follow me I hope you would 1. Know better and 2. Feel comfortable contacting me or any of the other public-facing archaeologists who post often on such topics.

I have had people in my extended social circle find skulls before and I helped them safely deliver it to a proper place to facilitate repatriation after police said it was no big deal. Seriously, ask someone for help, it's important.
And, before you ask: yes I have tried to get professional orgs to make a simple guide on what to do when you inadvertently find a site or human remains. They felt it was too much of a liability to give even broad advice or resources. Contact an individual you trust.
Let me know if you'd want me to work on such a thing. Myself and @DrKillgrove have been wanting to for years and I couldn't risk it as a student. Now that we are both rogues we can probably do it on our own.
