PSA: a museum docent in Rome shrugged at me when I asked how many artifacts in storage never get displayed, and the actual number changed how I read every new discovery headline
She guessed maybe 90 percent stay in boxes, which made me realize most archaeology news I get excited about is just the one percent that happens to fit a display case, so is the real discovery problem more about funding for labs and storage than about finding new sites?

Yep, same as 90% of icebergs, hidden.
