		The unusually, highly turbid zone was noticed mainly in the Gulf of Martaban and extending to about 15 ° N. The turbid front was also found to have a sharp gradient with SSC falling from over 50 mg/l to less than 1 mg/l within a distance of few kilometers on the continental shelf (Fig 2).
		Studies of the sediment texture, depth of the water (bathymetry), etc., indicate that the sea floor in the Gulf of Martaban, the surrounding coastal areas and estuaries are covered with silty clays and subject to constant settling and resuspension due to tidal forces.
		Adjacent to the brown muddy waters of the Gulf of Martaban the waters are a distinctly green due to high content of chlorophyll from oceanic algae and diatoms.

		One archaeologist of the Archaeological Survey of India, who saw the exhibits, remarked that the finds constituted a major discovery and that it was greatly educative for him to learn from the scientists of the NIOT new methods of archaeological investigation.
		The NIOT team chanced upon the Gulf of Khambat Cultural Complex (GKCC) in the course of routine, multi-purpose marine surveys undertaken along the long coastline of the country.
		The state-of-the-art technology used by the NIOT investigation team included: side scan sonar (which is a widely accepted method for photographing the seabed) for delineating sea-floor surface features and mosaic; sub-bottom profiler, for a cross-section of the sub-seabed; and magnetometer to identify major structural elements, including analysis of the impact of tectonics.

	Questionable claims
		Archaeologists debunk the claim that underwater structures in the Gulf of Khambat point to the existence of a pre-Harappan civilisation.
		While not disputing the possible existence of underwater structures in the Gulf of Khambat, they argue that the evidence found so far is far too flimsy to support the grand claims that are being made.
		The fifth, and the most important, objection to the Khambat claims is that those making them did not follow any of the accepted procedures of the discipline of archaeology before going public with their "discovery".

	Colonial Fleets - Evidence of Lemuria?
		The ruins, known as the Gulf of Khambat Cultural Complex (GKCC), are located on the seabed of a nine-kilometer stretch off the coast of Gujarat province at a depth of about 40 m.
		Geologists argue that the many of the "geometric patterns" seen on the sonar images which the NIOT team interpreted to be submerged structures, are instead obvious artifacts of the sonar imaging process itself.
		This raises the possibility that the extremely old samples, as argued for many other "artifacts" recovered from the Gulf of Khambat (Cambay), are not man-made artifacts or potsherds, but rather concretions, nodules, and related objects of natural origin [3].
