Excavations started in 1993 and are continued to the present. The prolific archaeological assemblages include lithic industries, faunal remains, hearth complexes as well as indications of spatial patterning of the archaeological material.

The Boila project is one of the few palaeolithic excavations currently under way in Greece. It is the first entirely greek project of its kind and has a strong multisciplinary character. The study of the archaeological record contributes decisively to our understanding of the Upper Palaeolithic of Greece and allows comparisons with other palaeolithic sites within the wider Balkan and Meditteranean region.
