The excavations at Gothawa started in December 1994 and were carried us every year up to now except for the 1995-96 season. During the fins excavation campaign, the documentation necessary for the planned district survey (maps and aerial photos) was collected and work commenced-first in Italy and then in the field. The halian sram has been assisted over the years by officers of the Department of Archaeology of HMG and of the Lumbini Development Trust. The friendly, steady support of these institutions has assured the regular execution of the work.
