Every year, until Spyropoulos moved to the ephorate at Sparta, the excavation site yielded larnakes, pottery and terracottas.
[2][3] Spyropoulos discovered an alternative site for the palace of Menelaus at Pellana located 25 kilometers north of Sparta.
This has led Spyropoulos to believe that his excavations uncovered the lost Homeric capital of Laconia.
However, the palace was unscathed since it yielded jewelry, wall paintings, pottery, and a plethora of Linear B tablets.
Currently, there exists a major clash of interpretation between Spyropoulos and members of the British School at Athens.
