The Superintendence of Cultural Heritage is responsible for
the scientific investigations related to cultural heritage assets found both on
land and at sea. The Superintendence also regulates archaeological evaluations
and monitoring of development works in order to guide on planning decisions and
to safeguard cultural sites throughout ongoing works. Onsite surveillance of
development is carried out by qualified and competent persons who are
registered on the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage Services Register. The
Superintendence keeps full records of the archaeological documentation
resulting from these investigations. Further details on the procedures and standards
required from the Superintendence are published on the ‘Operating Procedures
and Standards for Archaeology Services’ (OPSAS) document. OPSAS document can be
