Based on the archaeological evidence, this excavation focuses on the chronology, the building phases and construction technique of the temple foundations. The analysis of the ceramics from the foundation layers provides a chronological terminus for the start of the temple's construction. The coroplastic finds include fragments belonging to two statuettes of Athena, possibly Athena Promachos. These figurines could shed light on the worship practised in the sanctuary before the monumentalisation of the sacred area in the 5th century BC.
