Recent underwater archaeological surveys have led to the identification of two massive walls of similar construction, with an average width of 3 m. The first one is located approximately 20 m from the current shoreline, at very low depth, with an east–west orientation parallel to the coastline.

[6] 4th–3rd centuries BCE stamped tiles bearing the names of prytaneis that were found in the site testify to an urban-type political organization of the settlement.
