The excavations in 2001 continued to investigate the villa as they had in 2000. Trenches A and B, first opened in 2000, were extended and by the end of the season 20 rooms were partially or wholly excavated. The earliest buildings erected over a series of terraces were dated to the 1st century A.D, but republican pottery suggested that there may be even earlier activity. Trench E revealed floor levels of the upper and lower terraces showing that the height of a terrace was 2.2m. The trench also revealed a room with simple decoration, dark blue panels outlined by yellowish green bands sitting above a dado level painted to resemble a veneer of grey marble or granite, suggesting that this room was within a service area. Trench B indicated that after several modifications the buildings belonging to the first phase were demolished by the late 1st or early second century. The expanding of trench A revealed the extent of the second phase bath house complex, which was built on both terraces down to the shore line. The complex was abandoned and robbed during the early third century. The only evidence of activity until the site was reoccupied in the 6th century was the discovery of 4th century Gazan amphora and late 4th early 5th century coins.
