ANTIQUITIES CODE Sample Clauses
The Antiquities Code clause establishes legal requirements and protections for the discovery, handling, and preservation of historical artifacts or archaeological materials found on a property. In practice, this clause typically mandates that any such items uncovered during construction or land development must be reported to the appropriate authorities, and may require work to halt until proper assessment or preservation measures are taken. Its core function is to ensure compliance with heritage preservation laws, preventing the unauthorized removal or destruction of culturally significant objects and thereby safeguarding historical resources.
