Archaeological heritage comprises movable and immovable property, as well as remains of any kind found on the surface, underground, or submerged in jurisdictional waters, that may provide information about the sociocultural groups that inhabited the country from pre-Columbian times to recent historical periods. According to National Law No. 25,743 (2003), assets from the last one hundred years from the date of their occurrence are also considered.
