I don't know the NC law on that, but I think it was found on private property.
I do know that some state archaeology laws apply only to state property.

Our digs were on private property and paid for with local donations....but the archaeologist did file the proper papers informing the state of a legal dig and we had a State dig# that applied to all four of our digs because they were in the same area...I had to check with the Gas,telephone and city utilities to make sure of that no utilities were buried underground...that also fell under a legal number...The archaeologist worked for us and the artifacts belonged to our city...it was decided in advance that the best of the artifacts would be placed in our museum...which is not supported by the state in any way... I was in charge of the site and the digs and the crew and the artifacts.
