	TREASURE ACT AND PORTABLE ANTIQUITIES SCHEME (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Portable Antiquities Scheme was established in 1997 to encourage members of the public to report all finds of archaeological objects.
		Scheme also makes an important contribution to our international commitments: to the Valletta Convention on the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage, to which we acceded last year, and to the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the Illicit Trade to which the Government intends to accede this year.
		The aims of the Scheme are compatible with the aims of this initiative and Resource have agreed that it provides a framework on which a network of finds liaison officers could be based.

	Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust - Services - Portable Antiquities (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Following the success of five schemes in England a pilot scheme covering the whole of Wales was launched in March 1999, which aims to encourage the voluntary reporting and recording of as many archaeological finds as possible for the benefit of Wales' national heritage.
		The Welsh pilot scheme is being managed by the Council for Museums in Wales and is being run nationally by a Finds Co-ordinator based in the National Museums & Galleries of Wales supported regionally by the four Welsh Archaeological Trusts, with a network of museums and record offices acting as local reporting centres.
		It is intended to release summary information about finds and findspots on the Internet (see 'Portable Antiquities Scheme' on our Links page), but for the present the findspots of objects will not be identified more precisely than the community in which they were found.

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| Lottery grant comes to rescue of archaeological research
		The Portable Antiquities scheme, which was in danger of collapse as its initial pilot funding ran out, has been saved by a heritage lottery grant announced yesterday.
		The future of the scheme is assured for the next three years, during which time the organisers hope a permanent structure will be in place.
		The scheme began in 1997 in an attempt to stem the haemorrhage of archaeological information in an estimated 400,000 unrecorded finds every year by metal detectors - enthusiasts previously reviled by archaeologists as little better than grave robbers.

		The Portable Antiquities Scheme is a government initiative to encourage the voluntary recording of chance archaeological finds (including metalwork, pottery, glass, worked flint and stone), discovered by members of the public (not by archaeological fieldwork projects).
		Due to the success of the first six pilot schemes in increasing the number of finds being recorded and building bridges between the metal detecting and archaeological communities, a further five pilot schemes, a co-ordinator for Wales, and an Outreach Officer started in February, 1999.
		After numerous attempts to get funding for a national scheme of Finds Liaison Officers covering the whole of England and Wales, the Portable Antiquities Scheme was successful in their bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund.

		A compromise was reached in the reform of the Treasure Trove law that gave way to the Treasure Act (1996) and the Portable Antiquities Scheme.

	Portable Antiquities Scheme
		In 1997 the Portable Antiquities Scheme was formed, designed to offer a service that provided a chance for members of the public to have their finds identified and archaeologically recorded by Finds Liaison Officers.
		Recording finds with the Portable Antiquities Scheme is entirely voluntary, although finders of Treasure have a legal obligation to report such finds to the coroner within 14 days.
		Before the Portable Antiquities Scheme began there was very little evidence for a Viking presence in the county, and it is just such finds, made by members of the public and recorded with the Finds Liaison Officer, that can provide vitally important information on the county's past.

		In Portable Antiquities: A Discussion Document the Government accepted that there was an urgent need to improve arrangements for recording all Portable Antiquities.

	HADAS - London Archaeology - The Portable Antiquities Scheme: Report of a lectue by Nicole Weller (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This is a completely voluntary scheme set up to promote the recording of archaeological objects found by non- professionals of all sorts, especially metal detectorists, who in the past have had little contact with the archaeological community.
		Although the scheme has only recently started to operate in our area, since it began in 1997 more than 150,000 finds have been recorded, so it can fairly be described as an established success.
		The good news: there is a nation-wide scheme gathering large amounts of information which would formerly have been lost, and locally we have an approachable and enthusiastic Finds Liaison Officer.

		We wish to put forward these suggestions as to how the Portable Antiquities Liaison Officers can help local societies regain their focus and their confidence, to their mutual benefit.
		For the Portable Antiquities Scheme it would provide local support and prevent the build-up of an 'us and them' mentality and help overcome the democratic deficiency sometimes perceived as a drawback of the scheme.
		This support is essential to help persuade the Government to continue to fund the scheme should the current Lottery funding come to an end.
