  1. Treasure Trove Consultation Updating the Code of Practice

  2. Why do we need this consultation? • The Code of Practice was first published in 2008 to clarify the procedures relating to reporting and allocation of finds. • Based on experience and feedback to Treasure Trove Unit and the Advisory Panel there is a need to reassess the content to help further enhance the code and what it stands for.

  3. Who can respond to the consultation? • Local authority archaeologists and advisors You write the planning briefs and deal with both public finds and contract archaeological assemblages • Finders of artefacts Field Archaeologists, Metal Detectoristsretrieve anything from individual finds to large assemblages • Heritage bodies/ specialist groups If you feel treasure trove process affects your organisation or activities • Treasure trove recipients – museum directors, curators etc The custodians of allocated treasure items • If you have an interest in treasure trove or the processes… then your opinion is valued The Code of Practice influences many groups and needs influenced by those same people.

  4. Why is this relevant to me? Not every aspect of the code of practice will affect you, however your say matters in the whole document. Your input creates a piece of the complete revision – with each part influencing the rest • Reporting – Easier reporting process • Assemblages – create the framework for early disclaim within the commercial archaeology context • Data access– Information flow of finds for academic use • Museum Application – simplified procedures • Resource pressures – museums & contractor storage of artefacts and assemblages

  5. Why is this relevant to me? Not every aspect of the code of practice will affect you, however your say matters in the whole document. Your input creates a piece of the complete revision – with each part influencing the rest • Valuation – fully transparent process with timescales • Terminology – clarifying language to avoid confusion • Disclaimed Material – innovative other uses for material • Treasure Trove – promoting and publicising the unit • Panel membership – maintaining a broad range of expertise

  6. Where do I find the consultation? • Closing date for the consultation is 2nd August 2013 • The consultation can be found on the QLTR's website www.qltr.gov.uk (click on Treasure Trove tab and then follow link on left hand side)

  7. What happens next? Creating a new roadmap for Treasure Trove in Scotland • All the responses will be considered by the Panel to inform a decision on the final content of the Code by the QLTR • A report on the consultation process will be prepared and placed on the QLTR'swebsite and will alert those who responded on the consultation when available • We aim to issue the revised Code online before the end of 2013
