Federal Protection Mandates

• American Antiquities Act of 1906
  Passed by Congress during the administation of President Theodore Roosevelt, the American Antiquities Act aimed to protect the cultural heritage of the United States from destruction by vandalism. The law proved weak, however, in enforcing effective penalties on those who broke it.
• Archeological Resources Protection Act of 1979
  The Archeological Reseources Protection Act (ARPA) replaced the American Antiquities Act of 1906 as the primary protection instrument for Federal lands. ARPA introduced stiffer penalties, both civil and criminal, for violation of the Act that could be more easily enforced. It also made it necessary to obtain a permit before doing any work that could possibly damage archeological resources on Federal lands and Indian lands.
• National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended) and Executive Order 11593 of 1971 (16 U.S.C. 470). These mandates are important because they declared a national policy of historic preservation and instructed all Federal agencies to provide national leadership in
  the identfication and preservation of significant cultural properties.
