How to get involved with the Scheme

The Portable Antiquities Scheme is a voluntary scheme for archaeological objects found by members of the public. The scheme encourages finders to record these discoveries with their local Finds Liaison Officer.

Regional contacts gives details of the Schemes network of Finds Liaison Officers. Each Finds Liaison Officer welcomes enquires regarding 'portable antiquities' in their region. They are also happy to record any archaeological objects that you might discover.

If you have a general question about the Portable Antiquities Scheme and its work of finds recording, why not have a look at the frequently asked questions. Otherwise please contact us to register for free information about the Scheme.

Also available are a range of publications and leaflets about the Portable Antiquities Scheme and the Treasure Act. You can order these through this website. This website is regulary updated and improved, but we welcome any feedback and comments.
