The pile-dwelling settlement was explored in several occasions during the second half of the 19th century, when it was defined one of the richest deposits of the Lake Varese. From 2006 to 2012 new underwater digs have been conducted by the Soprintendenza, whichmade it possible to connect previously recovered artefacts with important paleoenvironmental data, information about productive and sustenance activities, as well as knowledgeon settlement structures. In fact a part of a rectangular structure was discovered, which probably had a single aisle and was standing on piles (shorter side 3.75 meters; of the longer side only 6.25 meters were explored)near the shore in an area that was periodically flooded.

The submerged pile-dwelling is sometimes visible aboard a boat when the waters of the lake are not murky. The area of the settlement, marked by buoys, can be seen from the jetty at Bodio.
