This research has brought to the discovery of targets, verified with short exact probing on the area of interest. More than 200 ceramic fragments, osseous remains, few metallic remains, most of then are datable between the XIII and XVIII century. A few fragments are referable to XIX cent., showing that the area was not of interest for the filling up post-earthquake in 1908. It’s presumed that this discharge was in relation with one of the main doors of the city, after it was closed in XVIII century. It corresponds to a urban discharge not yet known.

in literature this object is always interpreted and linked to male figures, the discovering, in Phoinike (ancient Caonianowday
Southern Albania), of an woman's incineration grave, dated to the late III-II BC, with a strigil among the grave
goods, has allowed to corroborate some theories about the role of this object when it is linked to the female sex. The
presence of the strigil in the graves appears linked to marriage, as an important moment of a woman's step into society
and, specifically, the moments of wedding bath and courtship. These moments are proved by different pictures on attics
vases.
