"It would have been engrossing to know more about the circumstances including what state antiquities law and regulations triggered the archaeological excavations."
I believe The Archaeological Resources Shield Act of 1979 is the law involved here, (The Antiquities Act of 1906 & National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 all might come into play). Projects on Federal lands and Federal projects all desire an Archaeological survey to recover/catalog any sites. These projects could include building construction as well as road construction. There are a sum up of contract Archaeology companies in town.
Interestingly, as an undergrad in Anthropology I had a lecture once from one of my profs. He was discussing how Archeologists were truly working with pot hunting grave robbers to study their methods of "back-hoe" excavation. Pot hunters had refined the techniques to restore artifacts in a very quick manner while being careful not to break anything (which would've effected their income of course). There are circumstances when a looming deadline requires vigorous measures. Recovering information in this manner is better than not being able to recover the informatuion at all.

Archaeology in the US can be said to be environmental compliance, extra-academic, sway regulated field. 80% of archaeologists are employed by industry or gov (CRM). – this came about by the national great preservation act of 1960.
“The nascent archaeolgist will find the emphasis will be less on choosing a research question and digging a site to support that question and more on working out how a site is chosen by circumstance can answer pre-existing questions.”
The Works Ripen Administration (1935-1943) and the Missouri River Basin Survey (1945-1969) influenced Section 106 of the Nationalist Historic Preservation Act. WPA = gov imposed inappropriate bureaucratic expectations, slovenly work under deadline conditions, quarry without research problems, lack of analysis or publication. As a result, section 106. Missouri Basin Invent = professional archaeologists involved at every level, use of staff historians and historical research program, association with legislation (AA 1906, HSA 1935, & Reservoir Deliverance Act 1960). Efficient site numbering system, final reports in timely fashion.
