  • Galle Harbour Maritime Archaeological Impact Assessment Report for Sri Lankan Department of Archaeology
    Galle Harbour Maritime Archaeological Impact Assessment Report for Sri Lankan Department of Archaeology Ross Anderson, Jeremy Green and Corioli Souter Western Australian Museum, Department of Maritime Archaeology Report–Department of Maritime Archaeology, Western Australian Museum, No. 235. 2007 Background Following discussions between the Sri Lankan Department of Archaeology (SLDA) and Department of Maritime Archaeology, Western Australian Museum (WAM), WAM was engaged as a consultant to undertake a maritime archaeological survey of Galle Harbour as part of an Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) process. The scope of the consultancy was to carry out a maritime archaeological survey, and provide a report to the SLDA outlining the impact of the proposed Galle port development on the underwater cultural heritage of Galle Harbour. The survey took place between 14 November and 2 December 2007. WAM has been involved in maritime archaeological investigations in Galle Harbour since 1992. Previous work includes: remote sensing surveys, site inspections and excavation of shipwrecks. Remote sensing and diving search projects undertaken in 1992, 1993 and 1996 resulted in the location of a range of significant maritime heritage sites in the harbour including Arab-Indian stone anchors, the VOC wrecks of the Avondster (1659) and Hercules (1661) and 19th century iron steamship wrecks. Due to advances since 1997 in position-fixing and remote sensing techniques, it was necessary to resurvey the proposed port development area to accurately position and identify possible sites to be impacted by the development. Existing GPS positions were only accurate to 200 m as a result of GPS Selective Availability (decommissioned in 2000). As part of the contractual agreement between WAM and the Sri Lankan Department of Archaeology, this report is to be submitted to the Sri Lankan Department of Archaeology by 17 December 2007.

  • An Early Historic Assemblage Offshore of Godawaya, Sri Lanka: Evidence for Early Regional Seafaring in South Asia
    Author version: J Mari. Arch., vol.9(1); 2014; 41–58 An early historic assemblage offshore of Godawaya, Sri Lanka: Evidence for early regional seafaring in South Asia R. Muthucumarana1, A.S. Gaur2*, W.M. Chandraratne1, M. Manders3, B. Ramlingeswara Rao2, Ravi Bhushan4, V.D. Khedekar2 and A.M.A. Dayananda1 1. Maritime Archaeology Unit, Central Cultural Fund, Fort, Gale, Sri Lanka *2. CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography, Dona Paula, Goa, India, Email: [email protected] 3. Cultural Heritage Agency, Smallepad 5, 3811 MG Amersfoort, The Netherlands 4. Physical Research Laboratory, Navarangpura, Ahmedabad, India Abstract Investigations in 2010 by an international team of maritime archaeologists yielded a concentration of artefacts identified by the authors as the remains of a shipwreck off the southern coastal village of Godawaya, Sri Lanka. The major findings from this site include many quern stones, various types of ceramics, and glass ingots. The comparative study of the artefacts from the Godawaya site and terrestrial sites of Sri Lanka and India suggest that the ship might have been originated from the southern part of the Indian subcontinent. Based on analysis of the artefacts and radiocarbon dating of wood fragments from the site, a broad date of 2nd BCE to 2st centuries CE is assigned to the assemblage, assigning it to the early historical period. Thus, this is the earliest known and as yet investigated shipwreck in South Asia. Keywords: Sri Lanka, quern stones, Black and Red Ware, glass ingots, Early historic shipwreck 1.0 Introduction The strategic location of Sri Lanka in the northern centre of the Indian Ocean allowed it to develop to a great extent during the medieval period (8th to 14th centuries) as a centre of maritime commercial interfaces between East and West, from East Asia to the Persian Gulf, Arabian Peninsula and African continent (Hourani 1995, Tampoe 1990, Bopearachchi 1996).The island, however, played an important role in earlier and later periods (Ray 2003:117).
