The programme is hosted by the Swedish Archaeological Institute at Athens and it is funded by the the Stiftelsen Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (National Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation, 2007–2012, c. £2.2 million). The project combines three different strands of inquiry into an important sanctuary of ancient Greece: archaeological investigation, study of the local religion and its contribution to understanding Greek religion in general, and exploration of the impact of the archaeological remains on the local community. Dr J. Pakkanen's responsibility is the study and publication of the architecture at the site.
