A major excavation project was undertaken by the 22nd Byzantine Ephorate of Antiquities in Aetoloakarnania and Lefkas in 2012, at the modern village of Drymos, in north Akarnania, on the south coast of the Ambracian Gulf. The excavation revealed an important Late Antique site that flourished on the possible site of an ancient port. The excavation of the North Sector revealed a large building complex arranged in wings around an open space-courtyard.

An archaeological survey in the Gulf of Keramos 1997
Most of the time of our field work has been focused on the ancient city of Keramos, today the pretty town of Ören including its hinterland; thenceforth we moved to the east boating as far as the island of Kedreai, having once again checked the frescoes in Alakışla and some monuments and inscriptions on the shore of Aşağı Mazı.

The article discusses a building complex including a Greek cruciform structure identified by geoelectric resistivity survey just north of Vezirkopru in the region known in antiquity as Pontos. The initial discovery by the Nerik Excavation Project was followed by intense systematic archaeological survey by the Danish project Where East meets West, and the article publishes the results of this field work. The structures in the Papaz Tarlasi can be conjecturally interpreted as parts of an early Christian complex dating to the second half of the 5th century AD and presumably associated with the cult of a local martyr. The finds and the finds distribution appears to suggest that the martyrion was associated with consumption and some habitation.
