In the double season in 2008, work continued on the Churches site, including excavation and geophysical prospection of the girdle wall and the architecture inside the walls. More evidence supported dating the first complex to the 6th/7th century. New ramparts were added when the Upper Church was raised in the mid 11th century (according to the pottery and finds). Three appendices present a revitalization project in progress, current conservation of church murals and the pottery assemblage from the excavations).
