 Declaring monuments. Sites identified as archeological sites at the site inspections carried out by provincial and offices and head office are declared as archeological monuments. Therefore, the number of monuments decaled within each year could not be decided statistically.

In 2015 drafts were prepared to declare 235 monuments. Accordingly, 71 archeological sites in Ampara District have been declared. Notifications were published for calling objections in respect of 56 monuments.

In addition, although actions were taken to declare drafts of three documents such as 67,58,54, monuments in the year of 2015 the work could not be finalized until to date due to the changing of the Ministers in charge of the subjects from time to time. That is because every document to be published should be signed by the Minister. Proce- dure of publishing amendment draft Gazette Papers prepared for one Minister should be again started from the first step vitz. obtaining approval from the Legal Draftsman . Similarly, one document had to amended for three Ministers during this year.

Therefore, progress of declaring of monuments in the year 2015 could not be achieved properly and the progress has been achieved as follows.

 Number of monuments declared - 71

 Number of monuments for which notifications were published for calling objections - 56

 Number of monuments included in four documents amended form time to time. - 235
