Trouble moving date and deleting rolling archives in K2

Hi there, I’m having two issues with editing the K2 theme.

1. I want the date to appear above the post titles, but can’t find ‘the_date’ in any of my php files. I see ‘the_title’ in single.php, but no evidence of the date anywhere.

2. I’d like to remove the Rolling Archives at the top all together. Is there a quick and clean way to do this?

Many thanks.
