The stratigraphic excavations begun in the eastern sector in 2006 continued. To the northwest an extensive deposit was excavated. On the rim of a vase the letters epsilon and probably the remains of a ni were still legible, and the traces of other letters suggest that this was a dedication (\“anetheken\”?). The finds ranged in date between the 5th- 4th century B.C., with a predominance of later material. Below this deposit was another containing fragments of terracottas representing Demeter, miniaturistic vases, single-handled cups and banded cups, Black-figure skyphoi and large animal bones. Below a thin layer of clay and cobbles another cult deposit came to light. As the deposits were one above the other, separated only by thin layer of clay and cobbles they probably represent diverse layers of a single deposit. As there was no clear chronological differentiation between the layers, the question as to whether this was a votive deposit created during a single ritual, or whether these were offerings collected over time (in a sort of dump of votive material) remains unanswered.

In the central area a number of sterile sandy layers below the layer of fill revealed the upper interface of the natural slope. The paleo-ground surface sloped steeply from south to north, towards the area of the springs. During the restructuring of the sanctuary in the 4th century B.C. the substantial drop in height down to the springs was filled, thus drastically reducing the natural slope. This operation made it easier to reach a part of the springs that was otherwise always damp, and facilitated the construction of the terraced late Classical-Hellenistic sanctuary complex. No architectural remains dating to the archaic period were found on the slope. Due to the steepness of the natural slope it is probable that no buildings were present in this zone prior to the construction of the late Classical-Hellenistic sanctuary. The excellent state of preservation of many of the vases suggests that they were carefully deposited and then covered with earth, stones and tiles. It was probably in this way that the earliest ex-voto were deposited in a sort of “ritual burial”.

To the west of the “via sacra”, which climbed towards the south, two low terracing walls were revealed. The stones, which formed a straight line down the slope, whilst to the south they protruded in an irregular manner in the surface of the terracing, delimiting a terrace circa 1.90 m wide and 0,20 m high. The remains of a floor surface suggested the terraces were paved with cobbles. In the same way, at circa 1.90 m to the south of this wall, at circa 0.40 m higher, a low wall with the same function came to light in trench 3/07.
