In the case of post-medieval sites, environments, objectsetc. which are considered of historical, artistic and cultural value, the relevantministry may issue a protection order. The ministry may grant exemptions fromprotection orders in special cases. In these cases, an assessment will be made bythe relevant authorities – usually specialists at the historical, cultural, maritimeand technical museums (i.e. the ‘administrative museums’ – forvaltningsmuseer),working t<strong>og</strong>ether with local and county authorities and the Directorate forCultural Heritage. An exemption order may also require an archaeol<strong>og</strong>icalinvestigation/exc<strong>av</strong>ation of the area. These investigations are known asadministrative archaeol<strong>og</strong>ical assessments (arkeol<strong>og</strong>iske forvaltningsundersøkelser).(For a translation of the Act, seehttp://www.regjeringen.no/en/doc/laws/Acts/cultural-heritageact.html?id=173106)NIBR-rapport 2012:30
