Explanation:

Correct :. The act does regulate archaeological excavations and ensures the preservation of important artifacts like sculptures and carvings.

InCorrect. The AMASR Act doesn't define an archaeological site based on the "not less than 1000 years" criteria. The definition is broader and doesn't limit it to such a specific timeframe.

InCorrect. Any amendment related to the perimeter around the protected areas would be of great significance, and as of my last training cut-off in January 2022, there was no amendment giving state governments the power to extend the area beyond 100 meters around protected areas. Prohibited areas and regulated areas around a protected monument are defined in the act, and any construction in these areas requires permission.

Therefore, only the first statement is correct.
