En 2005 et 2006, les fouilles menées en collaboration par la IVe éphorie des antiquités préhistoriques et classiques (A. Mantis) et l’Institut allemand (T. Mattern, J. Marchand) ont porté sur le sanctuaire de l’acropole inférieure et le « bâtiment de terrasse ». L’analyse topographique du sanctuaire a permis de progresser dans la compréhension de l’état du VIe s. av. J.-C. (bordé d’une plateforme pavée à l’Est). Il en ressort qu’il devait être installé au sommet...

En 2002, il a entrepris un nouveau projet de recherche à Kléonai, en collaboration avec J. Marchand et la IVe Éphorie (dirigée par A. Mantis et représentée par E. Pappi). Le projet est principalement centré sur le temple dit d'Athéna situé sur la colline Est, dont Frickenhaus...
