In 1998 the Greek Archaeological Service found at the edge of the Kossinthos river 2 burial pythoi, that were dated in the beginning of the 8th c. BC. In this area they found pottery sherds from the EBA. The research in the surface of this area was continued until 2002 and they collected only pottery.
