For archeology? No

Yeah I realize for archaeology. But, wouldn't the religious higher ups who are basically more powerful than the government in some aspects be pissed off that some random archaeologists un-earthed one of their most sacred figures?

Nah, the only issue is comming in contact with the dead. It causes one to be unclean. But no rules against desicration unless by the church itself. But, the dead are just empty husks that serve no purpose. "Let the dead bury the dead" and all that.

here ya go

John's skull it is located at Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, the Monastery of Saint Macarius the Great in Scetes, Egypt.[56] at Gandzasar Monastery's Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, in Nagorno Karabakh, the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus. (Extant).,[57] and San Silvestro in Capite in Rome, and the Residenz Museum in Munich, Germany, (official residence of the Wittelsbach rulers of Bavaria from 1385 to 1918). Further heads, no longer available, were once held by the Knights Templar, Amiens Cathedral in France (brought home by Wallon de Sarton from the Fourth Crusade in Constantinople), Antioch in Turkey (fate uncertain), and the parish church at Tenterden in Kent, where it was preserved up until the Reformation. (wiki)

I thought I read something that their were 2-3 relics of the head. Now I cannot find it. As always, it is not like dna can solve the answer.
anywho, I am not entirely incorrect. Many relics were forged during medivial era

More physical proof that the Bible and its contents are real...I love it
