§ 763. Designation of archeological sites

The state archeologist, with the approval of the state historic preservation officer, may publicly designate an archeological site of significance to the scientific study or public representation of the state's historical, prehistorical or aboriginal past as a "state archeological landmark." All state agencies administering state-owned lands containing state archeological landmarks shall cooperate to insure the protection of these landmarks. State archeological landmarks located on privately-owned land shall not be designated without the written consent of the owner. Upon designation of an archeological site the private owner or affected state agency shall be given written notice of the designation by the state archeologist. Once so designated, no person may conduct field activities without first securing a permit from the state historic preservation officer and complying with the provisions of section 762 of this title. (Added 1975, No. 109, § 4; amended 1995, No. 46, § 46.)
