Answer

What archaeological checks are usually done before building in Mallorca?

Before construction on sensitive land, archaeologists may examine the site, document any finds and decide whether parts of the area need protection. In Mallorca, that is especially important near historic caves or burial sites. Good practice also includes clear conditions for the owner and follow-up monitoring if the site remains vulnerable.
