  • The Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains (AMASR) Act is a legislation in India that aims to preserve and protect the country's rich heritage and cultural assets.

  • It was enacted in 1958 and is one of the most important laws for the protection of archaeology in India.

The AMASR Act protects a wide range of archaeological sites and remains,

  • Ancient monuments: This includes any structure, building, cave, sculpture, inscription, or monolith that is over 100 years old and has historical, archaeological, or artistic significance.

  • Archaeological sites: This includes any area where there is evidence of past human activity, such as settlements, burial grounds, and trade routes.

  • Remains: This includes any object or fragment of an object that has archaeological significance, such as pottery, coins, and tools.

The AMASR Act protects archaeological sites and remains in a number of ways,

  • Identifying and declaring protected areas: The Archaeological Survey of India is responsible for identifying and declaring protected areas around archaeological sites and remains

  • These protected areas are typically 100 meters in radius, but they can be larger or smaller depending on the specific site.

  • Regulating construction and development: Construction and development activities are prohibited within protected areas without the permission of the ASI. This helps to prevent damage to archaeological sites and remains.

  • Excavation and exploration: The ASI has the exclusive right to excavate and explore archaeological sites and remains

  • Acquisition of land: The ASI can acquire land that is important for the protection of archaeological sites and remains.
