Recent excavations, however, conducted by Professor I. Papapostolou for the Archaeological Society of Athens ( Archaiologike Etairia Athenon ) have demonstrated that a ) the building is likely to have been constructed after the end of the Mycenaean period c. 1000-900 BC ; b ) that the curious horseshoe shaped setting of stone slabs which appeared to surround the Megaron was only put in place after the Megaron had gone out of use and c ) that the burnt stratum with the typical offerings of the later Geometric period ( 800-700 BC ), attested at many Greek sanctuary sites such as Olympia and Delphi, intervenes between the slabs and the foundations of the Archaic temple which carried the painted metopes.

The old oracles in Delphi seem to be connected with a local tradition of the priesthood, and there is not clear evidence that a kind of inspiration-prophecy existed in the temple.

The gymnasium, which is half a mile away from the main sanctuary, was a series of buildings used by the youth of Delphi.

Delphi is famous for its many preserved athletic statues.

It is known that Olympia originally housed far more of these statues, but time brought ruin to many of them, leaving Delphi as the main site of athletic statues.

The Charioteer of Delphi is another ancient relic that has withstood the centuries.

The site is also protected as a site of extraordinary natural beauty, and the views from it are also protected: no industrial artefacts are to be seen from Delphi other than roads and traditional architecture residences ( for example HT power lines and the like are routed as to be invisible from the area of the sanctuary ).

Modern Delphi is situated immediately west of the archaeological site and hence is a popular tourist destination.
