Dr John Gater graduated from Bradford University with a BSc in Archaeological Sciences in 1979 and then worked with British Gas and the Ancient Monuments Laboratory (now English Heritage). In 1986, along with Dr Chris Gaffney he established GSB (Geophysical Surveys of Bradford), the first independent consultancy for archaeological geophysics in the UK. GSB became involved with Time Team since the programme began in 1994, the first series being Athelney in Somerset.

In 2003, Messrs Gaffney and Gater published Revealing the Buried Past: Geophysics for Archaeologists (Tempus Publishing Ltd). A book intended as an introductory reference to the background and modern practise of archaeological geophysics; for archaeologists who use or wish to use geophysics as part of their wider evaluations, prospective students and anyone who has watched Time Team and wondered what exactly "geophys" was all about. |

John was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Bradford in 2006 for his distinguished contributions to the field of archaeological geophysics and for his long-standing contributions to Time Team.
GSB Prospection currently employs 8 members of staff, who each have their specialisms and interests. |
