REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Article 66C, section 110E of the Code. The
only changes made are in style.

2-302. DIVISION OF ARCHAEOLOGY; STATE
ARCHAEOLOGIST.

THE DIVISION OF ARCHAEOLOGY IS CREATED AND
CONTINUED WITHIN THE SURVEY. THE ADMINISTRATIVE HEAD
OF THE DIVISION IS THE STATE ARCHAEOLOGIST WHO SHALL
BE A PROFESSIONAL ARCHAEOLOGIST WHOM THE DIRECTOR OF
THE SURVEY APPOINTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STATE MERIT
SYSTEM. THE DIRECTOR OF THE SURVEY SHALL APPOINT, IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE STATE MERIT SYSTEM, ASSISTANTS AND

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Article 66C, section 110G of the Code. The
section is revised to state that the survey
director and not the commission appoints
the State archaeologist. This conforms
with the fact that the commission only is
to act in an advisory capacity; see section
2-204(b). Section 2-204(b) was enacted by
Chapter 154, Acts of 1969 and changed the
function and role of the commission.
Article 66C, section 110G was enacted by
Chapter 541, Acts of 1968. The only other
changes made are in style.
