GGAT has been responsible for over 1400 site investigations and over 300 desk-based projects including components of environmental impact assessments. In addition, the Trust has carried out historic landscape characterisation of the Historic Landscapes in southeast Wales on behalf of Cadw and has undertaken LANDMAP upgrading work across southeast Wales. We have built up a body of recognised expertise in the investigation of sites of all types and periods. This experience is reflected in our specialist knowledge and flexibility in selection of methodology.

GGAT Projects has extensive experience of working within multidisciplinary development teams for large-scale projects, and can cover all the elements required for the archaeological aspects of such work.

GGAT Projects have developed manuals of best practice for the various types of work, in particular a Manual of Excavation Recording Techniques and Guidelines for the Execution of Assessment Projects. The latter document not only sets out the requirements for undertaking and reporting assessment projects (including field evaluations), but also references the underlying hierarchy of pro-formas required to ensure that tracking and auditing functions can be effectively fulfilled.

GGAT Projects can offer technical services either as part of projects or individually, at reasonable rates, and working to agreed deadlines. Where the Trust cannot directly provide the necessary service it can call upon its established network of specialist archaeological finds, archaeotechnical and palaeoenvironmental sub-contractors.
