Professor Ts.Turbat also noted that the legalization of conducting archaeological and paleontological researches in the areas with exploration license is important in protecting archaeological sites. Only as of 2015, professional archaeological organizations have discovered more than 2,600 new archaelogical sites on 55 licensed mining areas and along newly building roads.
