Finds from surface survey indicate humans were already present in the Neolithic period; occupation continued throughout the Bronze Age and into the Early Iron Age. In addition to the settlement, a Bronze Age boat[2] and burials dating to the Bronze and Early Iron Ages have been found close to the settlement. Part of the site's importance derives from the apparently continuous habitation here after the end of the Mycenaean palatial Bronze Age, with no gap apparent between the post-palatial Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age. This situation is mirrored in other Central Greek sites, such as Lefkandi, Kalapodi, Elateia, and Pyrgos Livanaton/Kynos.
