The archaeological research in the area of ancient Abdera started in 1950 by Dimitrios Lazaridis. But systematically, the Polystylon was excavated between 1982 and 1986 under the program "Thrace" of the Archaeological Society, headed by Charalambos Bakirtzi, Superintendent of the 12th Committee of Byzantine Antiquities at that time and under the supervision of Professor George Bakalaki. The study was continued in the years 1990 - 1995 by the same Committee by the archaeologist Stavroula Dadaki, who supervised also the work carried out in the years 1997 - 1999 under the Second Community Support Framework. All these excavations revealed the following:
1. the outer fortification wall
2. part of the rampart of fortification
3. intra-urban internal transverse walls
4. the Episcopal church of the city
5. The single-nave church Cemetery
6. aisled basilica with a cemetery outside the walls, in front of the Western Gate of the ancient city and in the current archaeological site of Abdera
7. the Late Roman baths
