Scientists who, in the summer of 2003, visited the underwater site off the northern Turkish coastal town of Sinop couldn't arrive at any conclusions.

From the article, I surmise that he plans a future expidition with equipment that will be able to carry out excavations on the sea floor. No date was given in the article.
