Excavation of archaeological sites can be performed only by professional archaeologist and only with a federal permit. Persons found vandalizing sites on the range will be prosecuted under the Archaeological Resources Protection Act to the fullest extent of the law. Persons found digging in human burial sites will be prosecuted under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.
