The excavations were conducted by a University of Manchester mission, under the direction of Lindy Crewe, director, Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute.

The Department of Antiquities, Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works said it hoped that future seasons would reveal evidence on the nature of the occupations and activities undertaken at the site.

According to the department, outstanding questions remain, namely why was such a large complex constructed and occupied only a generation or two, what was the function of the large open area ,and why were so many large-scale heating and burning installations constructed there.
