So-called "Preservation Laws" in the United States

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Preservation laws in the United States do not guarantee that archaeological remains will be preserved. They require developers to identify and evaluate cultural resources in the project area and come up with measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate damage to those resources. In some cases, excavation may be required before development, but in many cases, archaeological remains may be destroyed despite the existence of preservation laws.
