一个由来自斯里兰卡、印度、印度尼西亚、马来西亚和菲律宾的潜水和水下考古专家组成的国际小组参加了对斯里兰卡戈达瓦亚沉船的评估。勘探的主要目的是根据实地工作中产生的数据对沉船地点进行评估。沉船位于或被困在31米水深的孤立礁石中（实际上包围了沉船，只有东北部暴露在外）。地表分布观察表明，场地分布面积为40 m x 22 m。重要的发现包括各种大小的罐子、有龙骨的烹饪器皿、燧石和身份不明的货物以及可能的船只结构。通过对早期发现的陶器和本次调查中观察到的陶器进行分析，发现这些陶器与公元世纪以来发现的沉船中的陶器并不相似。对陶器和石器的比较研究表明，这艘沉船的时间可能在公元前世纪和公元世纪之间。
An international team comprised of experts in diving and underwater archaeology from Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines participated in the assessment of a shipwreck at Godawaya, Sri Lanka. The main objective of the exploration was to make assessment of the wreck site based on the data generated during the fieldwork. The shipwreck is lying or trapped in an isolated reef (which virtually surrounded the wreck and only the northeastern part is exposed) in 31m water depth. The observation of surface distribution suggests that the site is spread over an area of 40m by 22m. The important findings include various sizes of jars, carinated cooking vessels, quern stones and unidentified cargo and possible ship structure. The analysis of pottery retrieved earlier and observed during the present investigation suggests that the pottery is not similar to those found from the shipwrecks of the 10th century ad onwards. Comparative study of pottery and stone artefacts indicate a possible time bracket for this wreck to be between the 4th century BC and the 2nd century AD.
