The first legal measures for the protection of archaeological finds in the regions of Bohemia and Moravia (the historical regions of the Czech Republic) were already taken in the first half of the 19th century. The real regulation, however, arrived only with the state decree issued in 1941. The current law entered into force in 1987. The fundamental political, as well as social transformations that occurred in the Czech Republic two years late brought much higher demands on conducting rescue archaeological fieldwork. Even though the law was created in the conditions of Real Socialism with the centralized and state-subordinated economy, it is still, after more than twenty-five years, valid and applied in a democratic state and in free market conditions. Adaptations of the law in the new social and economic conditions were in most cases adopted with the approval of all involved parties. A series of regulations has been adopted that are more-or-less generally respected. Though the regulations are, generally, respected, their real enforcement still relies more on moral and ethical appeal rather than on the word of the law.
