Excerpt
Legislative Purpose: The Archaeological Resources Protection Act expands the protections provided by the Antiquities Act of 1906 in protecting archaeological resources and sites located on public and Indian lands. Summary: The United States passed the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 to regulate finds on federal and Indian lands and to prevent looting and destruction of archeological resources. ARPA encompasses a great variety of objects, not just historic sites like the Antiquities Act. ARPA defines archaeological resources as items: (1) of archaeological interest over 100 years old; and (2) found in an archaeological context on federal or Indian lands and requires finders to obtain a federal permit before excavating these objects. ARPA?s permitting component authorizes the recovery of certain artifacts consistent with the standards and requirements of the Federal Archaeology Program.
