The following papers were presented at a seminar held at Nooit Gedacht, Galle on 15 November I 997. The seminar was the initiative of Robert Parthesius, who suggested that a seminar would present an ideal opportunity to discuss the objec tives and progress of the Galle Harbour Project. Various members of the team worked together to develop the programme and to arrange for representatives from various institutions to attend the seminar. The Galle Harbour project has a complex history and the programme was intended to familiarise the participants with these developments. The opportunity was taken to show the latest discoveries of the project and to demonstrate some of the techniques and methods used during the project.
