GSB Prospection is a limited company operated by directors John Gater and Chris Gaffney who together have over 40 years experience in archaeology. The company has grown out of the first independent consultancy for geophysics in archaeology, established in 1986, to become the largest group of archaeological geophysicists in the UK.
We specialise in the non-invasive evaluation of sites for archaeologists, planners and developers. In addition to our evaluation work, consultancy, research and the publication of articles form an important part of our services.
To date we have carried out surveys on over 1500 projects, including work in Bulgaria, Chile, Croatia, Egypt, Eire, England, France, Greece, Northern Ireland, Norway, Romania, Scotland, Slovenia, Spain, USA, Wales and Zimbabwe. We have also been involved with the Time Team since its inception in 1993.
We operate according to the standards and codes of practice set down by the Institute of Field Archaeologists(IFA).
