Isn't that solved by rescue archaeology ? Here in the Czech Republic everything has been settled for many thousands of years - so you basically automatically call the archeologists for any construction, they will check the area, record any interesting findings and retrieve artifacts of interest. Then the are is free to be used for the construction project.

Something like that is happening right now here in Brno:

A massive construction project & equally massive archaeology operation - mapping the remains of old textile factories, an old channel and rail line, fish storage tanks, a mill, a villa and even a cemetery or two.

The archaeology work is wrapping up in a month or two & then the construction crews will take over the site (they already work in the areas that have been fully searched) to finish the construction project (which includes a 13 meter deep water tight "tub" due to a very shallow water table for the basement levels or 200 meter deep geothermal energy piles, etc.).
