|FLO|Finds Liaison Officer of the portable Antiquities Scheme.
|Gazetteer|A list of place names with their associated location, normally given as a grid reference. Gazetteers are published by the OS and other mapmakers and are used as an aid to finding the location of a place on a map sheet. In archaeology, gazetteers of site names and their locations are often included in journals and other publications. Gazetteers have a specific use in GIS, described separately.
|Grandfather, father, son backup system|A method for storing previous generations of data that are continuously updated, sometimes know as GFS
|HBSMR|A software package for HERs that implements the MIDAS data standard which was jointly developed by the NMR and exeGesIS SDM Ltd in partnership with ALGAO. An earlier version was called SMR.
