At the Peinan site, because of construction of the South Link Railway, there was no choice but to move all of the artifacts unearthed early on away from the original site. Some of them are kept in a small museum of archaeology and anthropology at National Taiwan University, and some in the National Museum of Prehistory in Taitung. This violates the principle that relics should be preserved on-site.
目前的卑南遺址，由於當初南迴鐵路的興建，使得出土文物不得不搬離原址，一部份存放在台灣大學考古人類學小型博物館，一部份放在台東的國立台灣史前文化博物館，違背了遺址博物館現地保存的精神。
