The archaeological site is the southernmost part of a currently unknown early Christian city that occupied the northern slope of a hill east of the acropolis of ancient Alope, at the location of "Agia Aikaterini" in the Municipality of Dafnoussia. The first excavation in the area was carried out by An. Orlandos in 1929, when clandestine excavations carried out by locals to uncover an icon of Agia Aikaterini led to the discovery and partial destruction of the apse of an early Christian basilica. The 1929 excavation brought to light the main part of the basilica, namely the three-aisled temple with a protruding transept and the narthex. Cleaning and maintenance work on the mosaic floors was carried out in 1966, 1969, 1970 under the supervision of P. Lazaridis. Excavations in the area were repeated on the occasion of the construction of the new branch of the Athens-Thessaloniki national road and brought to light the remaining part of the cult complex, namely the monumental propylon, the atrium as well as the northern and southern extensions. At a distance of 50 m. southwest of the basilica, part of a large building with a facade on the main street leading to the basilica's courtyard was revealed. At a distance of 100 m. westward, part of a large bath complex, probably of a public nature, was revealed, which was not fully excavated.
