Abstract:		 Researchers, archaeologists and curators from the Institute of Archaeology at University College London and the British Museum have created MicroPasts, a web-based environment intended to provide a new space where archaeologists, historians and heritage specialists can join volunteer archaeological societies and other interested members of the public to create high-quality data that is of interest to all, in an open and participatory form. This article outlines some of the many different ways in which people can contribute, before looking in detail at one of MicroPast's main crowdsourcing applications, focusing on British Bronze Age metal finds. The principles behind crowdfunding are then explained, and three of MicroPast's crowdfunding appeals are described: the Thames Discovery Programme; a study of 1980s excavation records from a medieval abbey at Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire; and an investigation into the origins of Anglo-Saxon Wessex.
