In 2017, excavation continued in the monument with a hydraulic character. The monument considered as a theater of the Roman period it was first excavated in 1958 from a joint Albanian-Russian team. The excavations were restarted in 2013 in this monument, revealing a large channel in the orchestra, which suggested a hydraulicic monument. The channel, about two meters deep, had a considerable deposit of materials, but mostly sherds. The mixed material belongs to the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The latest material belongs to the first century BC, which proves that the monument was abandoned after this period and the channel was no longer maintained. The water in this central channel came through the two side channels of the analemas and passed into the channel of the orchestra below the exedra. Also, the part where the scaena frons it is thought to have been excavated. Here a row of blocks was discovered, on which the negatives of the structures that were once placed there could be seen. In 2017, the southern part of the monument was discovered. The floor was laid with stone blocks, which also rested on a foundation of stone blocks. A part of the side wall of the water channel was found in the western part of the floor. The floor in the western part was bordered by a floor of an earlier monument built with bricks. Also, a Late Antique tower was discovered in the eastern area. Inside the tower, a test pit was carried out where mixed materials from the fifth century BC and sixth AD was found. To the north of the tower, a house of the eighth-ninth century was excavated, built with materials taken from the monument of the Hellenistic period. Such dwellings were also found in the part of the orchestra during the excavations of 1958. Contrary to what was previously thought, the excavations confirmed that the monument was built at the beginning of the Hellenistic period and was abandoned in the middle of the first century BC.
