I would imagine that it would only apply to someone or a company primarily engaged in selling artefacts and therefore aimed at the ebay / black market in antiquities that the UK seems to be a clearing house for at the moment. Can't imagine it would apply to museums, etc.
Landowners are free to sell their own property, but there may be a question over whether you can sell it on their own behalf.
Seems to be a badly worded phrase more than anything else.
If they're intending to have this apply to a museum, then I'd expect some form of official guideline as opposed to a small section in the code of conduct with no defining information.
Topsoil? Would expect it to be an archaeological context, although a disturbed one as Oxbeast says. Never really discovered anything earthshaking in it, although that shouldn't mean that there isn't and is ignored
