Resumen

This Act prescribes that, unless authorised by a permit issued by the Board of Trustees, no person shall by means of excavation or surface operations search for any object of archaeological or palaeontological interest. Such permit shall, so far as is practicable, be in Form A set out in the Schedule. A permit may specify, in regard to the acts which it authorises, such limitations and conditions as the Board may consider necessary. The Minister may, by Notice in the Gazette, declare any object of archaeological or palaeontological interest and/or any area of land in which such objects are believed to exist to be a monument within the meaning of this Act. The Board may, with the sanction of the Minister, purchase or take a lease of any monument and it may, with the sanction of the Minister, enter into a written agreement with the owner of any monument for the protection or preservation of such monument. The Minister shall have the power to compulsorily purchase monuments.
