I always figured it was a combination of lack of resources to collect them (far travel, for example, or too few people) and the artifact simply not being activated to be noticed (either from sitting in a basement or attic for a few decades, like the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Doorknob (I'm assuming it was, but then again how would the Warehouse have found out about it. . . . ?), or buried underground for centuries to millennia)). You also might have other civilizations in North America (Pre-Columbus, when the Americas became widely known) which would have buried powerful objects in temples (OOOOOOOOOO! Maybe we can make an Indiana Jones-type story at some point?).
