The archaeological excavations of 2004, at the monastery of Santa Quaranta (40 Saints) were carried out under the direction of the Albanian Institute of Archaeology. The uncovered areas of the monastery included: parts of the narthex; the interiors of the naos; and the northern side of the monastery along with the area that surrounds the underground chamber – the crypt. A study of the remained frescos of the crypt was also initiated. The revealed pottery materials consist mainly of fragmented wares (parts of the bodies, handles, rims, etc.), all dated to the Late Roman and Medieval periods. Moreover, several architectonic fragments and liturgical elements of local production became part of the artefact collection found during this season.
