The image to the right (again, click for larger & more detailed image) focuses on the squares around where the temple was located. In C6 (bottom, first from left), excavators found three sets of pavers from a walkway around the temple. D6 (bottom, second from left) contains a preserved portion of the temple's podium. A column base was found in the 2000 season in D8, north of D6.

This image focuses on squares from the Byzantine bath complex.

L15 and L16 contain remains of a Byzantine olive oil factory. An olive press was found in the northern balk of L15.
