The English Archeological School brought to light the ancient settlement of Emporeios. It is located on the southwestern side of Prophet Elias' hill. The settlement was founded in the 8th century BC by the Ionians and was abandoned at the end of the 2nd century BC. At the top of the hill a citadel enclosed within walls was founded. Inside the fortification there is a palace like building, which is supposed to have been the ruler's residence. A sanctum consecrated to Athena (Minerva) patroness of the settlement, was erected and it dates back to the 6th century BC. To the western side of the hill outside the settlement's walls, there are remains of houses and streets. Near the port of Emporeios there is a second sanctuary, called 'sanctuary of the port' because the consecrated' divinity is still unknown. All findings from the settlement are exhibited in the archeological museum of Chios.
