Emmy, that sounds a bit like the classic case of the senior archeologist, who wants to publish everything under his own name. So he gathers up everything found of significance.....
What tends to happen is they have so much on their plate, they never get anything published at all!
The other example is the archeologist who does the dig, but never writes up the notes, so there are boxes of finds, but no one knows the context in which they were found. I can think of a few of these!
On the subject of Archeological MiB,
if something was found during a dig, in an unusual context, or of an unusual nature. The natural inclination of the boss, of the senior person on the site, would be to consider that they on site had made a b**l's up & take over the supervision themselves.
Exit one site supervisor, with poor future employment prospects.
