The Treasure Valuation Committee (TVC) is an advisory non-departmental public body of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) based in London, which offers expert advice to the government on items of declared treasure in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland that museums there may wish to acquire from the Crown.〔http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Dl1/Directories/DG_10012260〕 The terms of reference of the TVC are laid down in the Treasure Act 1996〔http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts1996/ukpga_19960024_en_1〕 Code of Practice,〔http://finds.org.uk/documents/treasure_act.pdf〕 which also details the principle of reward payments to finders and landowner for finds of Treasure which are acquired by museums. The TVC recommends to the Secretary of State the value of treasure finds which come before it, and also makes recommendations on the allocation of the rewards and abatements of rewards where circumstances require. Minutes of its meetings are published on the website of the Portable Antiquities Scheme,〔http://finds.org.uk/treasure/minutes〕 after all of the cases discussed therein are concluded. The TVC meets at the British Museum but is independent of the museum. ==Members== Members of the Committee are appointed by ministers in the DCMS. Terms of service are currently five years in length, with the possibility of renewal for a total length of service of 10 years. Members are not paid for their service. *Chairman: Professor Lord Renfrew of Kaimsthorn - Senior Fellow of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research. *Harry Bain - Publisher and Editor of ''The Searcher'' magazine for metal detector users and amateur archaeologists. *Dr David Dykes - Expert in medieval coinage and former Director of the National Museum of Wales from 1986-9. *Marian Campbell - Expert in medieval and post-medieval artefacts and former Senior Curator of Metalwork at the Victoria and Albert Museum *Professor Ian Carradice - Expert in ancient coinage and former Professor of Ancient Numismatics and Director of University Museum Collections, University of St Andrews. *Dr Tim Pestell - Curator of Archaeology at Norwich Castle Museum. *Peter A.
