There is currently no equivalent Excavation Index covering Scotland. Currently fieldwork is reported annually through the Council for Scottish Archaeology's Discovery and Excavation in Scotland publication. Some SMRs transfer Discovery and Excavation data into an Events module, but data is also transferred into the RCAHMS NMRS database and supplied to the relevant SMR as part of an on-going data exchange programme. The current extension of OASIS to Scotland will help develop indexes both locally and nationally.
The OASIS project is also in place in Scotland where it has been adopted across the sector for the reporting of archaeological projects. The OASIS project complements and encourages the continued reporting of fieldwork to the wider public through Archaeology Scotland's annual publication Discovery and Excavation in Scotland. Some HERs transfer Discovery and Excavation data into an Events module, but data is also transferred into the HES NMRS database and supplied to the relevant HER as part of an on-going data exchange programme.

In Wales the HERs have the responsibility for recording archaeological events, but the HEROS database system allows OASIS to receive event information and grey literature automatically from HER records.

Since the advent of planning policy guidance for archaeology (PPG16 England, Circular 60/96 Wales, and NPPG 5 and PAN 42 in Scotland), archaeological consultants and field units have carried out much of the archaeological fieldwork in Britain on the basis of competitive tendering. The contractors operate to briefs or specifications developed by archaeologists working alongside the HER in local government planning offices. As well as specifying the archaeological research, briefs will normally include recommendations covering the deposit of material resulting from the research. In England this includes data and reports to be deposited in the HER, finds and archives deposited in local museums or other repositories and computer-based information to be deposited in a recognised digital archive. In Scotland the SMRs by custom and practice require the deposition of the original site archive (for example the paper, photographic and digital records) for long-term preservation with the RCAHMS, whilst copies of all reports are deposited in the SMR. For artefacts the Treasure Trove Advisory Panel (who provide independent advice to the Queen's and Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer) decides the appropriate depository.
