    Abstract
    The Gulf of Khambhat has been a focal area for the human settlements since the Harappan and it is also famous for the highest tidal range in India. The author of the Periplus of the Erythrenean Sea vividly described the sites of the Gulf of Khambhat and approach to Bharuch (Barygaza). Recent marine archaeological explorations on the western coast of the Gulf yielded a large number of stone anchors in inter tidal zone of Ghogha. Majority of the anchors fall in the group of Indo-Arab type and only one composite type anchor was reported from Gogha. Another anchor similar to those found in Chinese coast also found from Hathab. A large quantity of glazed ware was also found along with the stone anchors from Gogha suggesting a possible date for the anchors between the 10th and the 14th century AD
