contents In this paper we introduce valuated $Δ$-matroids, a natural generalization of two objects of study in matroid theory: valuated matroids and $Δ$-matroids. We show that these objects exhibit nice properties analogous to ordinary valuated matroids. We also show that these objects arise as the valuations of principal minors of a Hermitian matrix over a valued field, generalizing other forms of $Δ$-matroid representability.
