The investigations were carried out both in the area destined for votive offerings of the Proto-Hellenistic age and in the neighbouring area intended for meal preparation and consumption. Excavation also continued at the major 'basin' (see NotScASNP 2022, for a small circular tank), pending an intervention aimed at defining the nature of the fill. The presence of earlier phases of use of this terrace has also been verified, although it is still difficult to say whether they were meant for sacred or residential use. New data still strongly indicate that the monumental complex is increasingly delineated as an urban sanctuary of chthonic deities, characterised by ritual expressions quite different from those known for the suburban Thesmophorion of Contrada Petraro.

These investigations have filled a gap in our knowledge of this sector, enabling previous hypotheses to be revised. Particular attention is paid to the ephebikon, the monument thus defined in a dedication inscribed on a statue base preserved in situ within it. The word ephebikon has opened up many new research perspectives concerning the agora/gymnasium relationship and many other historical and archaeological aspects. The building is now legible in its entire architectural articulation, both planimetric and volumetric, as well as in its relationship to the southern stoa of the square. The inscription on the base attests to the importance of the family and personal self-representation of the city élites.
