During the excavations of 2010 carried out at the Late Roman and Medieval monastery of Santa Quaranta (40 Saints) other structures of the early Christian church were uncovered, including the ambon, the baptistery and the sanctuary. Simultaneously, several water cisterns of the monastery were also revealed.
The ambon, as is the other early Christian churches, is located to the south of the east-west axis of the church. Its structure is a monolithic rounded block built of stones bonded with lime mortar. A part of it (¼) is cut and reused for building the stair case. The sanctuary constitutes quite a large area of the church; its chancel is of a straight type with a simple entrance and is lacking the prostoon, similarly to that found in the basilica of Saranda. The sanctuary floor has been paved within stone slabs, arranged within a rectangular frame in a networks or stripy shape. Outside the church, a rounded monument built with the same construction technique of the other parts of the monastery (stones bonded with mortar) was uncovered. Its function and shape cannot be defined due to the low preserved height of the walls.
Research in the baptistery area continued at four of its rooms, by digging down to their lowest floor level. The same situation was obvious at all the excavated baptistery areas: a rich archaeological material covered by a destruction layer of roof tiles. The walls, the floor levels and the piers are badly preserved.
In addition, two small conches, situated to the west of the largest conch of the monastery were also excavated. Their excavation up to the floor level revealed the same situation as in the others, previously excavated northern conches. It was showed that the architectonic elements (slabs and columns) of the excavated parts of the church had been removed during their later phases of reuse. The excavation on the western part were undertaken in order to uncover the staircase that gave access to the western portico. The investigations revealed the limiting wall of the northern side of the staircase, as well as a ceramic deposit, consisting mainly of amphorae fragments.
The excavation within the water cisterns uncovered ancient pottery materials and modern objects, suggesting a prolonged use. The communication of the cisterns in the lower part is enabled through the use of lead pipes, and in the upper (for the discharge) with ceramic tubes.
